Why is my stomach bloated a few days before menstruation

If there are problems with menstruation, timely treatment is needed, otherwise it will affect the quality of life. In daily life, many women also experience reactions such as bloating before their menstrual period. So, why does the stomach swell a few days before menstruation?

  

Why is my stomach bloated a few days before menstruation1

  Firstly, if there is only a slight feeling of bloating in the stomach before each menstrual period, it is a normal physiological phenomenon. This is because the pelvic cavity is congested before and during menstruation, causing discomfort in the stomach. Therefore, bloating, lower back pain, and a feeling of heaviness will occur before and during each menstrual period. If the situation is not serious, it is a normal physiological state and should not be taken seriously. However, the amount of exercise should not be too much, and proper rest should be taken into account.

  Secondly, many women experience bloating before menstruation due to dysmenorrhea. Some women have obvious dysmenorrhea, not only during menstruation, but also before menstruation. During menstruation, they may feel bloating and pain in the stomach. This condition is divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. In the first one or two years, this symptom may occur. As they age and menstrual blood is discharged smoothly, the symptoms will disappear.

  Finally, premenstrual bloating can be classified into three types: one is a physiological change that does not require treatment. One type is accompanied by pain, which belongs to dysmenorrhea. If it is primary dysmenorrhea, it is functional dysmenorrhea and can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. A secondary dysmenorrhea, to find the cause, may be related to pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, or even gynecological tumors. Therefore, it is best to go to the hospital to clarify the cause and then receive corresponding treatment.
