When I went on the pill, I had gone in for my annual pap and I told him I wanted to go on and he gave me the prescription. He may have asked me some questions, but as far as physically checking me, that was all. Plus the standard, blood pressure, weight, temp, etc., that they do for any dr. visit.
Since the pill is adjusting your hormones, it can affect your IBS for the good, for the bad, or not at all. It should reduce the symptoms of your period (cramps, how heavy) which may help your IBS symptoms during that time.
There's more info in the Research Libaray about hormones and IBS and you may get more info there.
BTW: If you're pill is making you feel worse, let them know and they can switch you to a different kind that may not make you feel as bad.
