Folliculitis and diarhea - perimenopause symptoms?

[Linzie79]

Over the last four months, I've been getting inflamed lumps (folliculitis under armpit, bartolin cyst in most delicate area, and groin sebateous cyst). Never before in my life have I experienced this. I can't take antibiotics for the current infection under my armpit as I was recently on a course of treatment just three weeks ago. On top of that, I'm bleeding a lot with hemarroids, but just with bowel movements, plus watery stools. I'm 46 and in the midst of perimenopause. Does anyone else experience these ailments with hormone fluctuations?

Have you had a recent test for diabetes? Cysts, spots and boils were one of my symptoms before diagnosis. It could be perimeno, of course, but it wouldn’t hurt to rule out diabetes.

Digestion issues are common with peri too but it might be a good idea to get those checked out too, especially as blood is present.

Thanks for responding. I have blood tests tomorrow. I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy in November 24 and that came back clear apart for benign stomach polyps. I've had the digestive issues for years and we just can't pinpoint the cause which makes me think it must be peri

It might well be peri. My bowels have become somewhat stubborn and there’s no reason for it other than this time of our lives (had a colonoscopy screening too). Hope you get some answers and relief
