Menstrual cycle symptoms, menstrual cycle. The main symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
Before, I thought that PMS is rather rare conditions for young woman, but having experienced on my sister, I understand that this is a real problem, painful and unpleasant time. In order to start treatment we have read a lot of information about menstrual cycle, PMS and its symptoms. So, here you are what I’ve find.
Most women experience some discomfort before menstruation. Some of them do not bring these feelings of anxiety, as not pronounced and prolonged. For others – on the contrary, strongly violate the overall health and deliver a lot of trouble. Uncomfortable phenomenon may last from several hours to several days, the nature and manifestations of these discomforts diverse and individualized for each woman.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) – it’s emotional and physical discomfort before menstruation. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) brings suffering to 80% of women of childbearing age (20-40 years). Approximately 30-40% experiencing so much suffering that disrupted their rhythm of life. And if it is left unattended and can not be cured, then over the years before menstruation discomfort will be felt stronger and stronger. And the most dangerous thing is that then premenstrual syndrome may gradually develop into menopause, and monthly pain will become daily.
The main symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) (they all don’t occur at once), which usually occur for 7-14 days before menstruation:
- Weakness, fatigue, absent-mindedness.

I know apathy and depression go hand in hand, however paradoxical that may appear. I had the thought that I may have adult A.D.D. considering some of the symptoms (lack of focus, no motivation, horrible memory, etc.) and was even treated for it although the medications had no effect whatsoever (minus raising my blood pressure). My Dr.’s opinion is that it therefore could not be A.D.D., and must be something else (e.g. merely symptoms of depression). I have given this a lot of thought.
