What should I track for bowel symptoms?

Track date, cycle day, bowel movement pain, constipation, diarrhea, rectal pain, bleeding, bloating, nausea, medicines, food notes, and what changed.

What should I track for urinary symptoms?

Track urgency, frequency, pain with urination, blood in urine, pelvic pain, cycle timing, and any infection testing or care notes.

Should I wait to finish the log before calling?

No. Call a clinician sooner if symptoms are severe, new, bloody, paired with fever, pregnancy, faintness, or feel unsafe.

Endometriosis Bowel and Bladder Symptom Log

A plain bowel and bladder symptom log for people tracking painful bowel movements, constipation, diarrhea, rectal pain, urinary urgency, painful urination, bleeding, and cycle timing.

Bowel and bladder symptoms can feel hard to say out loud. They can also be easy to leave out of a short visit.

Use this log if symptoms change near your period or ovulation. It is for notes only. It cannot tell you if you have bowel endometriosis, bladder endometriosis, IBS, a UTI, or any other condition.

If you have severe pain, fever, faintness, blood in stool or urine, pregnancy concerns, or symptoms that feel unsafe, contact a clinician now.

One page clinician summary

Fill this out before the visit.

Field Your notes Main bowel concern Main bladder concern When symptoms started Do symptoms change near your period? Worst pain score, 0 to 10 Days missed or changed Blood in stool or urine Fever, vomiting, or faintness Current medicines or supplements Current birth control or hormone medicine Main question for care

Daily bowel and bladder log

Use one row per day. Keep the words plain.

Date Cycle day Period day Bowel movement pain, 0 to 10 Constipation Diarrhea Rectal pain or pressure Urinary urgency Pain when peeing Bleeding Food or medicine notes : : : none, mild, strong none, mild, strong none, mild, strong none, mild, strong none, mild, strong stool, urine, not sure

Write what happened. Do not force a medical word.

"Sharp rectal pain before period" is useful. So is "urgent pee every hour on day 1."

If bowel symptoms are the main concern, start with the painful bowel movements during period notes, period poops tracker, or period diarrhea symptom log.

Bowel symptom detail

Use this if the daily row is not enough.

Date Cycle day Before, during, or after period Stool change Pain timing Pain place Blood or mucus Notes : constipation, diarrhea, normal, mixed before, during, after bowel movement belly, pelvis, rectum, back none, stool, paper, toilet, not sure

Bowel symptoms to check

Pain before a bowel movement. Pain during a bowel movement. Pain after a bowel movement. Rectal pressure. Constipation near period. Diarrhea near period. Bloating near period. Nausea near period. Blood from the rectum or in stool. Symptoms wake me up. Symptoms change what I eat, where I go, or how I plan my day.

Bladder symptom detail

Use this if peeing or bladder pain is part of the pattern.

Date Cycle day Before, during, or after period Urgency Frequency Pain with peeing Bladder pain Blood in urine Notes : none, mild, strong usual, more than usual, very often none, mild, strong none, mild, strong no, yes, not sure

Bladder symptoms to check

I need to pee often. I need to pee right away. Peeing hurts. My bladder hurts when full. My bladder hurts after peeing. Symptoms get worse near my period. I have blood in urine. I was checked for a UTI. UTI care did not explain the pattern.

Do not assume bladder symptoms are endometriosis. Infection and other causes need care too.

If burning, urgency, or frequent peeing is the main concern, use the urinary urgency cycle log or UTI symptom tracker beside this page.

Food, medicine, and stress notes

This section is not for blame. It helps you and your clinician see what else was happening.

Date Food or drink note Medicine or supplement Sleep Stress Other illness Did symptoms change?

Use short notes. "New iron pill" or "poor sleep" is enough.

Pattern review

After one cycle, answer these.

Question Your notes Which cycle days were worst? Did bowel symptoms start before bleeding? Did bladder symptoms start before bleeding? Did symptoms ease after the period? Did pain happen outside the period too? What symptom changed daily life most? What do you want checked first?

Questions to ask

Could this pattern be tied to my cycle? What other causes should we check? Do I need a urine test? Do I need stool, blood, or infection testing? Do I need imaging? Should I see gynecology, gastroenterology, urology, or pelvic pain care? What symptoms mean I should call right away? What should I track before the next visit?

A short script for the visit

"My bowel or bladder symptoms change around my cycle. The worst days are . The main symptoms are . My pain is out of 10. I am not trying to diagnose myself. I want to know what should be checked."

If your symptoms involve sex, fertility, pregnancy, bowel movements, or urination, you can ask to talk privately.

Privacy note

This log can hold very private details. If you use an app, check where the data goes and who can see it.

Floriva can store cycle notes on your device. A paper log works too. Pick the format that best limits access and is easy to bring to care.

For private stool, food, pain, and period notes, use the digestive cycle data privacy checklist.
