Q: what causes swollen or hardness in the lower abdomen before menstruation and after menstruation is soften or normal?

: You may be feeling your uterus. Just prior and during menstruation, the uterus begins mild contractions that allow for the expelling of the uterine lining. You may experience these as cramps and swelling or hardness in the lower abdomen.
