A member asked:

Why do i become extremely bloated while on my period? (or in my case, during my withdrawal bleed as i am on a coc)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Uterus becomes big: The uterus is slightly puffier before your period and you have the sense of bloating that resolves with your periods. Best Wishes Dr M
