Can water retention make your stomach tender?

Question

I have a 35 day cycle and I am on day 15 and I am already bloated. My stomach looks like its pregnant( I am not pregnant) and its tender. Its not painful it just feels heavy. I also have to go to the bathroom every like hour. So I was wondering does anyone else get a sore heavy feeling in they're stomach before their period? Is it normal?

Answer 1

I don't, but you should call your doctor just to be on the safe side.

Answer 2

when i had periods i had the same problem. you might want to find an over the counter medicine for periods that help with bloating and other problems associated with periods to see if it helps you any if it doesn't then talk to your ob/gyn or your regular doctor about what can be done for it. and to answer your question... yes water retention can make your stomach tender.
