  Endometriosis is a condition were tissue that is similar to the lining of the uterus, the endometrial, grows outside the uterus. An estimate of  2 to 10 percent  of American women of childbearing age are affected by endometriosis. During a female’s menstrual cycle, the uterus shed its lining, the endometrial, and the unfertilized egg when no pregnancy occurs. Females that have endometriosis experience a growth of tissue on other reproductive organs inside the pelvis or in the abdominal canal.

During menstruation someone my experience period bloating. Period bloating is when a woman’s abdomen often feels swollen or extended. Often, she can experience this symptom before or during her period. Before a woman starts her period, her progesterone levels fall to allow the uterus to shed its lining. This shedding results in menstrual bleeding. In a study done by National Library of Medicine they found that the changes in progesterone and estrogen levels causes a woman’s body to retain more water and salt. This retention can cause the body’s cells to become swollen which results in bloating. Ways to Reduce Period Bloating: ·  Avoid eating a lot of sodium:  Stay away from processed food or food high in sodium. During menstruation your body retains sodium which can result in bloating. Eat foods that are healthy for you such as fruits, vegetables, and lean protein. ·  Workout:  Participating in light workouts such as yoga can help you sweat the excess water and sodiu...
