The woman herself does not understand what is happening to her. She is angry at the whole world, she feels sorry for herself and her miserable life, she wants to burrow under the covers and cry. And then she realizes: yes, this is the notorious PMS. Yes, the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome manifest themselves in this way - a depressive state, pain in the lower abdomen and lower back, swelling of the mammary glands. And so it is repeated month after month for one or two weeks before the onset of the next period.
Who tolerates PMS
PMS is especially acute for young girls and women aged 20-40. Over the years, the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome weaken, and by menopause they naturally disappear. There can be no general rules here: every woman endures this difficult period in her own way, depending on the characteristics of her body. There are lucky women who do not react in any way to the approach of menstruation, but they are a minority. Approximately 80% of women experience these symptoms in one way or another.
So what's going on?
And who knows! Doctors are racking their brains trying to scientificallyexplain the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. There are several theories about this, and all are quite 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 swelling and swelling of the chest, and soreness literally anywhere in the body. Also, an excess of estrogens adversely affects the psycho-emotional system, hence the attacks of aggression, and tearfulness, and depression. There is another theory - about a violation of the water-s alt balance in a woman's body, which gives the same symptoms.
Premenstrual Syndrome Treatment
Drugs to alleviate the condition of a woman 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's 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. Still, general advice will not be superfluous. Most often, doctors prescribe treatment with gestagens - analogues of natural hormones that help to normalize the disturbed hormonal balance. Along with this, a course of vitamin therapy and special therapeuticexercise, and an appropriate diet. Of course, until the true causes of premenstrual syndrome are identified, drugs or other treatment cannot be prescribed. In some cases, these symptoms may be side effects of some other disease.
And lastly
How to survive the symptoms of a woman's premenstrual syndrome for those who are close to her? It has been proven that these days her performance drops sharply, she becomes distracted and unbalanced. A woman needs great efforts so that her condition does not affect relations in the team. And at home? And at home, relatives, specifically the husband, must show patience and tact. 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.
