A member asked:

Does lots of bloating mean period or pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Or it could mean other things like intestinal problems such as irritable bowel syndrome, or even something very serious like ovarian cancer. If its persistent and not just occasional, see your doctor.
