For the past few months in the from about day 10 of my cycle to day 20 I have awful trapped wind. I feel like I need to wee all the time, like a uti but no burning or anyrhing and wee does actually come out.
My stomach is bloated,im Burping and farming and generally feel horrible, then week before my period it goes. Is this a perimenopausal thing?
Can I do anything about it?

Definitely a symptom! It was one of the few physical things I could point to that convinced me I was in peri (I didn’t get hot sweats and everything else was mental health/anxiety). My googling said it’s about the whole digestive system slowing down. More fibre, water, HRT and in times of extreme distress the downward dog position and painful massage!

I wasn't sure if it was all a coincidence but its been every month at the same time, I hope it doesn't last another 10 days though, ill have to get into some yoga positions ASAP!
