What’s wrong with farting a lot before your period?

Farting before menstruation may be caused by increased progesterone, dietary factors, gastrointestinal discomfort and so on.
1. Increased progesterone: the secretion of progesterone will increase before menstruation, which may affect the function of the gastrointestinal tract, slowing down peristalsis in the intestines and accumulating more gas, which may lead to farting before menstruation.
2. Dietary factors: eating too much gas-producing food, such as turnips, sweet potatoes, chestnuts, etc. These foods are decomposed and fermented in the stomach to produce more gas, and the gas is discharged into the intestines, which may cause excessive farting.
3. Gastrointestinal discomfort: for example, patients with irritable bowel syndrome, affected by stress factors, psychological factors, leading to intestinal microecological imbalance, may have farting performance. Patients with dyspepsia, the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract will be slowed down, food stays in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time, and food residue in the intestinal tract for too long will produce a large amount of gas, which may fart a lot before menstruation.
There may be other reasons for farting before menstruation, it is recommended to go to the hospital, complete the relevant examination, under the guidance of the physician to clarify the cause of the disease, targeted treatment.
