Is it true some girls get bloated faces during their period?

Question

Is this because of water retention ? My friend always feels this way during her period, i always thought it was just a lil bloating in the stomach.

Answer 1

This is possible, it is from water retention and can happen anywhere in the body. Common places you would notice it would be hands, feet, face.

Answer 2

It's normal.  Women can bloat anywhere, but it's generally in the stomach area.  Your face can bloat, your fingers, etc.
