Deep dives

Understanding Hormonal Bloating

Hormonal bloating is linked to the fluctuations of female hormones throughout the menstrual cycle, particularly the balance between estrogen and progesterone. During the follicular phase, estrogen rises, while progesterone increases in the luteal phase. As progesterone peaks and then drops, many women may experience bloating due to water retention and inflammation caused by hormone imbalance. Recognizing these hormonal shifts can empower individuals to identify the root causes of bloating and better support their well-being.
