Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)

You suffer from annoying headache or even sharp pains? Not only you, don’t worry. Headaches are the most typical complaint from women during PMS. All you need is the right medication and lying an hour in a dark room.

Depending on my experience, PMS headaches are most likely to attack during two final weeks of the cycle. They are connected with lots of other symptoms (like decreased urination, fatigue, lack of coordination, constipation and joint pain), making it different from usual menstrual headache. The usual thing is also increasing appetite, especially for alcohol, sweets and salt. Headaches develop due to hormone and neurotransmitter levels changes in the final phase of the cycle.

You want some my recipes for remedies first? All right then, try to drink plenty of water and have enough rest. If this doesn’t work, take non-prescription painkillers. In case you feel lack of coordination and dizziness, get some sleep if you need. These headaches will be over, that’s nothing to worry about, so be strong, get rid of them and come back to your normal life.

In some cases women mix up and got the wrong point of view of pms symptoms. As the pms symptoms are quite similar to pregnancy symptoms.

Perhapes, the woman can feel depressed with several symptoms similar to pms symptoms. One of the most well-known fact is that during pregnancy there is so-called pregnancy depression, firstly, it’s connected with the hormonal changes. One should remember that pms depression is connected with the menstrual cycle changes as pregnancy depression is connected with hormonal changes in the body.

One should also remember that pms depression can last for 2 weeks maximum only (as the level of serotonin at this very period lowers).

Other symptoms like headaches, pains in back, breasts pains and so on are also can be taken for pms symptoms. In this case, they are quite alike. But to identify depression symptoms among which are delay of menstruation (but it’s the only symptom to be identified among 45% of pregnant women only). Usually pms symptoms start at the same period each month ( 2 weeks to 2 days before menses) as pregnancy symptoms start usually at the period of expected menses. In case of menses (if there is no suppression of menstruation) pregnancy symptoms can be easily mixed up with pms symptoms and to define them a woman should consult a doctor.

One more factor to identify pregnancy as the doctors recommend in case of sex with no contraception is pregnancy test. It’s recommended to use monthly before expected menses to identify pregnancy. Pregnancy tests are not of high accuracy at the starting point of pregnancy as they are highly recommended to use at the periods of suppression of menstruation.

At first sight pms symptoms can be easily mixed up and the only way is to consult a doctor and to make haemanalysis to define pregnancy.

When the women is in the period of pms there could be many symptoms for her to feel misbalanced. Surely, pms symptoms are individual. One body is easier to solve this problem, another feels depressed. Actually, women can easily identify these symptoms, because in many cases they are quite similar. As the pms period is connected with the women’s period. By the way, premenstrual syndrome symptoms is a good indicator for women to identify the course of the period.

So, the most well-known symptom to be mentioned is … irritability comparing with the mood swings. A Woman become more irritable. She can easily shout with no reason for that. The mood can change several times a day unexpectedly. The irritable condition can be aroused with some daily routine problems or with business activity. Even well- balanced person can easily become short-tempered. As the result of the rise of sensitiveness the women becomes more tearful. So, the most positive person can be upset with some miserable mess. The smile switches to the tears. Women cry because of some TV news about homeless animals, broken nails, dirty auto … Whatever can cause the tears and mood can be spoiled for the whole day.

What is more, a woman can spoil not only her mood, but the mood of the loved one, because of angry outbursts. Growing angry easily influences daily activity. In many cases it’ connected with the pms depression.

There are also some physical changes in the body. In many cases it’s breast swelling and pain. It’s caused by hormonal changes in the body. What is more, these changes can cause insomnia, weight gain, weight gain and headaches. Insomnia causes terrible headaches, headaches causes bad body conditions and insomnia. Actually it’s a vicious cycle. One symptom causes another one.
In some cases women suffer from chronic diseases as this period worsens chronic conditions. Like ulcers for example. Surely, it’s unpleasant. The worst thing is that these diseases exacerbation happen monthly.

During pms period women can suffer from nausea and problems with coordination. But these cases are not as frequent as for example bad mood or brest swelling and pain. A Woman shouldn’t concentrate on her bad condition and try do sport and lead normal way of life.
Some symptoms should be carried of as it can influence body activity. Among them heart pounding (palpitation), terrible insomnia, edema, asthma. They should be treated according to the symptoms, but one should understand that these problems were caused because of pms period. These symptoms are likely to be individual and not typical for all women. Surely, they should be treated individually and in consultation with the doctor.

Other symptoms like weight gain, mood swings, fuzzy thinking, breast swelling and pain, nausea tearfulness are absolutely normal symptoms. They are more typical for all women and actually they don’t require special treatment.

One should remember that each woman has her own ‘pms symptoms’ . To find out these symptoms she should observe pms condition for several months to point them out. If there are too many pms symptoms which really involve daily life, the woman should consult the doctor for further possible treatment to ease the pain and so on. By the way, one should remember that there is no universal panacea for every woman to escape from pms symptoms.

PMS (pre menstrual syndrome) is a well known syndrome connected with women menstrual cycle. It usually starts from 2 days to 2 weeks to the menses. Actually it’s characterized with several symptoms among which the most well-known are anxiety, headaches, pains in breast, mood changes, appetite changes and overweighting.

Doctors have no single idea whether this syndrome is connected with hormonal changes in the body or not, but it’s a well-known fact that in this period the level of serotonin in the body lowers. Serotonin is the very hormone to correspond for the appetite, sleep habits, mood swings and so on. So, during pms period this level becomes lower. As a result, mood changes, insomnia, appetite changes like overeating, aches and spasms. In this period a woman can feel depressed and a bit under the weather. What is more, in some cases there are feelings of loneness, anxiety and tearfulness.

One should remember that at this period many chronicle disease can exacerbate (most common is asthms). In this case, a woman should consult the doctor to get the treatment as some symptoms like headaches, muscle spasms can be quite painful and they need relief. Without some medicines a woman can really suffer from pms symptoms.

At this period there is sometimes so-called pms depression, which is not a really terrible disease, but, nevertheless makes some troubles and discomfort for daily activity. One shouldn’t mix up neurosis and typical depression with pms depression. At first sight one can think that they are very alike as the symptoms are quite similar, but it’s not true! Really, at initial examination a woman can enumerate all the symptoms similar to neurosis, but their nature is in essence different.

As pms depression is connected with the menstrual cycle, as ordinary depression is connected with stress, bad body condition and other causes and reasons. To indicate exactly pms depression a woman should report all the changes in the body for two a three menstrual cycles. First of all it’s made for a woman to find the very pms period as the similar changes in the body and mood indicates the starting and the finishing point of pms. Secondly, it’s made for a doctor to understand whether these symptoms are connected with the pms depression or with neurosis or exacerbation. Surely, pms depression doesn’t last for a month or two. In this case a woman should consult a doctor.

There are some medicines, herbal tablets and physical exercises to relive the pain or to ease the spasms. But, surely, they should be prescribed by the doctor. Some easy exercises are possible to find in the internet as they just ease the pain. But in case of worsening, there should be prescribed medicines. PMS depression are treated clinically quite rare as the basic treatment are some antidepressants. Pms depression and catastrophic symptoms are treated individually.

So, pms is special period of menstrual symptoms which is characterized with wood swings, increasing of tearfulness level, anxiety, some physical symptoms but mostly connected with the level of serotonin in the blood. Many of pms symptoms as the whole condition of the body during this period is quite individual. If there are some changes in the pms symptoms or pms period, a woman should consult a doctor. Another thing is these symptoms and condition shouldn’t be mixed up with pregnancy symptoms.
