Understanding PMS

Premenstrual syndrome, or PMS, is a term used to describe a variety of behavioral, mental, and physical symptoms that appear one to two weeks prior to menstruation. These symptoms are associated with the body’s hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle.

Common Premenstrual Symptoms

Physical Symptoms

  • Breast tenderness
  • Bloating
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Fatigue
  • Joint or muscle pain

Emotional and Behavioral Symptoms

  • PMS mood swings and treatments for irritability or anger
  • Anxiety or depression
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Cravings for specific foods

While some women experience mild symptoms, others may face severe discomfort that can significantly disrupt daily routines.

What Causes PMS?

1. Hormonal Fluctuations: Variations in estrogen and progesterone levels throughout the menstrual cycle trigger PMS.
2. Chemical Changes in the Brain: Alterations in serotonin, a brain chemical responsible for mood regulation, may worsen emotional symptoms like anxiety or depression.
3. Lifestyle Factors: High stress, inadequate sleep, and an unhealthy diet can intensify PMS symptoms.
