Brief Answer:
Can be infective diarrhea

Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.

Based on the history you have shared, though the same symptoms can be related to fibroids like pelvic pains or compression symptoms or back pains etc and may also cause such irregular periods and are not of much concern at this moment as there wasn't any gross fluctuations and variations of one day are expected in such cases however the loose stools are matter of concerns alongwith crampy sensations or pains as it can be due to infective causes and any enteric tract infection or toxins exposure due to any food contaminants can trigger such bowel movements.

At this moment stool analysis, blood counts and renal and electrolytes levels may not be needed but if it persisted even after two or three days it may be indicated.

Meanwhile using antibiotics like ciprofloxacin alongwith metronidazole will be needed and anti spasmodic drugs like drotavarine alongwith OTC analgesics like acetaminophen will help. Probiotics XXXXXXX and oral rehydration salts will help with the lost water and salts. Soft diets should be ensured avoiding dairy products or heavy greasy meals or fizzy drinks.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope this has answered your query. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Regards

Brief Answer:
It is most likely due to fibroids

Detailed Answer:
Hi! I know it's unpleasant and uncomfortable for you but most likely fibroids have been the contributing factors because as you know the periods depend upon the inner layers of uterus and hormonal control of the growth during monthly cycle but in such structural conditions of uterus it tends to behave differently to Hormonal surges and may lead to irregular or early periods.
