What causes bloating during menstruation?

I believe that many people will have this phenomenon every time they have their period, that is, their stomachs will be very bloated during their period. If it is normal, many people think that this has a lot to do with their food intake, but if it is during menstruation, everyone will be very worried about such adverse phenomena. If the stomach is very bloated every time they have their period, they will feel as if there is something wrong with their body. So what is the matter with bloating during menstruation?

Nearly half of women in the world have dysmenorrhea, and about one in ten women have dysmenorrhea for one or two days each month, which may even affect work and other activities. Sometimes this problem disappears after giving birth, but often it persists.

Researchers measured women with menstrual pain and found that the amount of prostaglandins produced by their endometrial cells was much higher than that of other women; the amount of prostaglandins flowing in their blood was also relatively high. However, the above research only goes so far. For most women, they still have to rely on painkillers to fight prostaglandins a few days each month, and sometimes even if you take more painkillers, you can't achieve complete pain relief. In fact, there is a method that may be the fundamental solution. Instead of focusing on prostaglandins, it is better to focus on the cells that produce prostaglandins. We all know that birth control pills can relieve menstrual pain because they reduce the proliferation of endometrial cells. The smaller the cell membrane, the fewer tissue cells that produce prostaglandins.

Estrogen is a female sex hormone. During each menstrual cycle, the estrogen content in the body varies. It is the cause of the growth of endometrial cells. Therefore, we just need to make the hormone level fluctuate less each month, so that the changes in the uterus will not become so intense, and menstrual pain will naturally be alleviated.

The bloating in the abdomen during menstruation is caused by this reason. If you feel bloating in the abdomen every time you have your period, you cannot rule out the possibility that it is a symptom caused by irregular menstruation. If you feel bloating in the abdomen every time you have your period, you should improve yourself by doing some appropriate exercise every time you have your period. This can also improve the symptoms of bloating and regulate menstruation.
