What are the reasons for bloating during the menstrual period?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you experience bloating during your period, it is likely due to poor blood flow of menstrual blood. It is recommended that you avoid maintaining the same posture during your period to promote the discharge of menstrual blood. However, you do not need to engage in overly strenuous exercise. The uterus and external genitalia become congested and more fragile during your period. If you exercise too vigorously, it may lead to more severe cramps and heavier bleeding. However, if you feel as energetic as usual, you can still exercise. There is no need to pause your exercise routine just because of your period—everything should be based on your comfort. If you experience bloating during your period along with other discomforts, such as excessive menstrual flow or pain, you should seek medical attention promptly to determine whether there are any endocrine or reproductive system disorders.
