What’s wrong with your stomach when you’re on your period?

The term “great aunt” generally refers to a woman’s menstruation. A bloated stomach during menstruation can be caused by physiological factors, gynecological inflammation, indigestion and other reasons.
1. Physiological factors: During menstruation, the uterine lining is shed from the uterine cavity, and the body releases endogenous prostaglandins to promote uterine contractions, which may cause a woman’s stomach to feel bloated.
2. Gynecological inflammation: If there is gynecological inflammation, such as cervicitis, vaginitis, endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc., due to the stimulation of inflammation, menstruation may lead to abdominal distension symptoms aggravated.
3. Indigestion: When women suffer from indigestion during menstruation due to unclean diet and improper diet, the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract slows down, and the function of food digestion and absorption is weakened, which may lead to the phenomenon of bloating in the stomach.
There may also be other causes of bloating during menstruation, so it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, complete the relevant examinations, identify the cause under the guidance of a professional doctor, and actively target treatment.
