Common symptoms
Ovulation pain
Ovulation pain may occur around the middle of the menstrual cycle. It is usually mild, short-lived and not a cause for concern.
Abdominal bloating
Abdominal bloating is a feeling of fullness or tightness in the abdomen. It is often related to digestion and usually temporary.
Intestinal worms
Intestinal worms are parasitic infections of the gut. They can cause itching, abdominal pain and digestive symptoms.
Irregular periods are not usually a sign of a problem. But speak to a GP if your periods are irregular or your normal pattern of periods changes.
You can often do simple things yourself to ease an itchy bottom (anus). Get medical help if the itching does not stop.
Itchy skin is not usually a sign of anything serious. You can often treat it yourself and it will usually go away after a few weeks.
