I have stomach aches. It's difficult to have a bowel movement. I am 1 day late on my period. Can constipation delay my period?

Yes, constipation can potentially be linked to a delay in menstrual periods. Constipation can cause changes in hormone levels which may affect the regularity of menstrual cycles. It is important to address both the constipation and menstrual delay separately to determine the underlying causes and appropriate treatments. If you are experiencing these symptoms, it may be helpful to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
