A member asked:
Why does my stomach swell up when am about to see my monthly period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bloating: Ugh, aren't periods annoying! prostaglandins are increased at this time before our period and they cause our gastrointestinal tract to bloat and fill with air. Also cause water retention, breast tenderness, cramping, body aches, sometimes even a spike in temperature! Ibuprofen is your best bet to help combat the pains of premenstrual period. 600mg every 6-8 hours is best.
