It is a phase: During the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, hormonal changes causes follicular cysts to form in the ovaries and increase in thickness of the lining of the uterus. This coincides when a woman feels abdominal bloating, heaviness, and even moody. This phase is immediately followed by menstrual flow which makes the cysts shrink and allow the lining of the uterus to go back to normal.
