Bloating and Menopause -

Apart from bad moods, sleeplessness and constant tiredness, bloating and menopause can sometimes go together as the bloated feeling is another side effect of menopause.

The fluctuating hormones cause an increase in intestinal gas. There is also increased fluid retention. This can also result in weight increase.

The fluctuation in hormones, especially lessening of estrogen is responsible for bloating during menopause.

Estrogen causes increase in water retention during menopause. Decrease in the levels of estrogen can also reduce the bile production which acts as lubricant in the intestines.

The reduced bile production causes the stools to be hard and dry. This gives the sensation of constipation and bloating.
