A member asked:
Is it normal to feel bloated after your periods?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Bloating usually is caused by water retention due to hormonal issues. Female and thyroid issues are usually the underlying causes. While bloating is normal before your period, it should go away when it starts.
