Experts believe that period bloating is caused by hormonal changes during menstruation. Before bleeding begins the amount of hormones estrogen and progesterone in the body changes. A week before the period, the level of progesterone hormone decreases. This causes the lining of the uterus to expand so that bleeding can occur. Due to these changes, the work of the intestines slows down, and due to which water and salt start accumulating here. This is called water retention in English. This is the main reason for flatulence. Apart from this, contractility in the intestines is also a reason for bloating.
