What Causes Constipation After Exercising?
Hi, I have uterine fibroids and love exercising. However, whenever I exercise now, my lower stomach hurts and it appears larger after I exercise. I also get constipated after exercising. I really hate this because I am passionate about exercising. What can I do to continue my exercise regimen?
