Bloating is also one of several premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms that can occur 1-2 weeks before a woman's period.Bloating before and during a period may result from changes in levels of the sex hormones progesterone and estrogen.
As well as causing menstrual bleeding changes in progesterone and estrogen levels cause the body to retain more water and salt. The body's cells become swollen with water, causing the feeling of bloating.
