Bloating During Period Symptoms Explained: What to Track & When to Act

Explore causes and personalized insights for bloating during period using advanced testing with Mito Health.

Why It Happens

Bloating during your period is extremely common, driven by hormonal shifts that affect fluid retention, gut motility, and inflammation. It's part of the body’s natural monthly adjustments.

Progesterone Drop: A sharp decline in progesterone slows digestion.

Increased Prostaglandins: Inflammatory molecules affect gut tone and water balance.

Salt and Water Retention: Hormone shifts cause the body to hold more fluids.

Food Cravings and Overeating: Poor dietary choices can worsen gut fermentation.

Stress or Poor Sleep: Both impair gut recovery and add to bloating.

How to Manage

Eat Anti-Inflammatory Foods: Leafy greens, berries, and turmeric reduce swelling.

Hydrate Strategically: Water plus electrolytes help flush excess fluids.

Support Digestion: Smaller, lighter meals ease gut burden.

Use Gentle Movement: Walking, stretching, or yoga promotes gut flow.

Prioritize Sleep and Rest: Hormonal balance improves overnight healing.

Period bloating is normal — but manageable with daily habits tuned to your cycle.
