Bloating during the menopause
|
You may experience bloating during perimenopause and menopause. It may be the result of fluctuating hormones during this period of your life or water and gas retention. You’re likely to experience less bloating after menopause when your ovaries stop making estrogen and progesterone, and your body maintains a lower level of hormones.
|
|
How can we help relieve the symptoms of bloating?
|
|
|
1
|
Drink more water or peppermint tea:
|
|
It may sound strange if you are suffering from water retention but it helps to flush out your system and keeps you hydrated.
|
|
2
Going for a brisk walk or doing some exercise may help to de-bloat and get any trapped wind or water build up moving through your digestive system.
|
|

|
Eating too much salt can make your body hold onto water and cause swelling. Try to avoid processed foods as these can often be high in salts & sugars.
