Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Yes, premenstrual fluid retention and menstrual inflammatory changes can cause people to feel pressure in their lower abdomen or bloating.

I see though, from another question you wrote, that this came on directly in relationship to lifting groceries and so it may be a strain.

Rest and no further heavy lifting will most likely help this to resolve.

I hope this information helps.
