What Causes Persistent Bloating Upon Skipping Periods?

I am perimenopausal with fibroids and I bloat terribly every month for 3 weeks. When I skip a period, my bloating doesn t go away, why is that? I ve been exercising and have lost 27 lbs since January and my stomach is still so big and bloated. I hate it!

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are in perimenopausal age, hormonal imbalance is likely in your case.
And this hormonal imbalance can cause skipping of periods and bloating of stomach.
So better to consult gynecologist and get done clinical examination and hormone levels.
You will mostly improve with hormone pills.
Also take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination for bloating.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Consult gynecologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
