The woman herself does not understand what is happening to her. She is angry with the whole world, she is sorry for herself and her unhappy life, she wants to bury herself under the covers and cry. And then she understands: yes this is the notorious PMS. Yes, the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome appear in exactly this way - a depressive state, painful sensations in the lower abdomen and lower back, swelling of the mammary glands. And so it repeats month after month, one to two weeks before the onset of the next menstruation.
Who transfers ICP
PMS is especially acute for young girls and women aged 20-40 years. Over the years, the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome weaken, and menopause naturally subsides. There can be no general rules here: each woman suffers this difficult period in her own way, depending on the characteristics of her body. There are lucky ones who do not react at all to the approach of menstruation, but their minority. Approximately 80% of women are affected by these symptoms in one way or another.
And yet, what's going on?
Who knows! Doctors are puzzling, trying to scientifically explain the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. There are several theories on this subject, and all are plausible. Most often they are inclined to the version of hormonal failure, which occurs with the approach of critical days in a woman.
According to this theory, during this period there is some redistribution of female sex hormones - progesterone and estrogen, and the amount of the second increases sharply. Estrogens, among other properties, are known for their ability to retain fluid in the body, hence the swelling, and
swelling of the chest, and soreness literally anywhere in the body. Also, an excess of estrogen adversely affects the psycho-emotional system, hence the attacks of aggression, and tearfulness, and depression. There is another theory - about the violation of the water-salt balance in the body of a woman, which gives the same symptoms.
Premenstrual Syndrome: Treatment
Drugs to alleviate the condition of women with PMS, of course, exist. Another thing is how effective they can be. Everything will depend, again, on the characteristics of a particular organism and the severity of the problem. It is no secret that someone can get off with mild irritability and a couple of migraine attacks, and someone has to call an ambulance to relieve wild pain. Nevertheless, general advice will not be superfluous. Most often, doctors prescribe treatment with gestagens - analogues of natural hormones that help to normalize disturbed hormonal balance. Along with this, a course of vitamin therapy and special therapeutic exercises is prescribed, as well as an appropriate diet. Of course, before the true causes of the premenstrual syndrome, drugs or other treatment can be identified. In some cases, these symptoms may be side effects of any other disease.
And the last
How to survive the symptoms of a woman’s premenstrual syndrome to those close to her? It has been proven that these days its performance drops sharply, it becomes distracted and unbalanced. A woman needs great efforts so that her condition does not affect the relationship in the team. And at home? At home, native people, specifically the husband, should be patient and tactful. If he understands that his woman cannot do anything with herself, it will be easier for everyone. And the woman herself, by the way, also does not hurt to slow herself down, if only because no one is to blame for her suffering. However, like herself.
