PMS
Premenstrual Syndrome is used to describe a group of physical and psychological symptoms that women experience before their periods begin. These symptoms appear regularly before menstruation and can vary in severity but improve when bleeding begins.
What are the symptoms?
More than 150 symptoms are recognised by experts but the most common range from: feeling sad, weepy and/or depressed, craving sugary or salty foods, sleeping badly, headaches and migraine, breast tenderness and abdominal cramps.
PMS normally starts around 1-2 weeks before menstruation begins. Although there is no exact cause of PMS, experts believe it’s to do with a fluctuation in hormone levels that occur throughout the menstrual cycle.
PMS can be worse during times of stress, after childbirth and during your 30s and 40s.
This medical condition affects 1 in 3 women although some sources say that it affects a much higher rate - approximately nine out of 10 women.
