A member asked:
At which points in the menstrual cycle do women become bloated and why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just before menses: The week just before the period is due is when Progesterone and estrogen are at their peaks causing bloating. About 2 to 3 days prior to the flow those hormone levels drop and with the bleeding so does the bloating.
