Severe premenstrual syndrome

Many female friends must have heard of premenstrual syndrome, but they must be confused about what it is. So do you know what premenstrual syndrome is? What symptoms will occur when it occurs? And what methods can we use to alleviate premenstrual syndrome in our daily life? Let's find out below.

PMS

I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of premenstrual syndrome after reading the article literally. Premenstrual syndrome is also called early menstrual syndrome. It refers to the influence of changes in male hormones in the blood during the menstrual period before menstruation, which causes a series of mental and physical symptoms, including irritability, anxiety, nervousness, edema, diarrhea, breast pain, etc., which disappear with the onset of menstruation. PMS usually occurs 7-14 days before menstruation. Typical premenstrual syndrome begins a week before menstruation, and the symptoms gradually worsen until they are more severe two to three days before menarche, and then suddenly disappear after menarche.

Many women will experience premenstrual syndrome, and the prevalence rate is 50%, with the highest incidence rate among women aged 20-30. Female friends can effectively alleviate and prevent the occurrence of premenstrual syndrome by strengthening their physical fitness in daily life, maintaining a stable and happy mood, and maintaining a stable living habit.

Symptoms of PMS

1. Mental state of mind

When premenstrual syndrome occurs, the change in mentality should be more obvious, with changes in mentality, understanding and behavior. Women with PMS may experience two different mood changes. Some women may experience symptoms such as anxiety, mental and physical restlessness, irritability, harshness, and irritability. Trivial ultrafine particles can cause emotional desires, even quarrels, crying and making trouble, and they cannot control themselves.

2. Surface symptoms

Women with PMS may experience fluid retention. The most common symptoms are swelling of the hands, feet and eyelids. A small number of female patients have gained a significant amount of weight, and their usually fitting clothes become tight and uncomfortable. Some people experience a feeling of abdominal distension, which may be accompanied by gastrointestinal problems such as nausea, vomiting, and occasional intestinal cramps. In clinical medicine, diarrhea, frequent urination and urgency may occur during the physiological period. Due to edema and hematoma of pelvic tissue, symptoms such as pelvic distension and lumbar pain may occur.

3. Headache

Premenstrual headache is one of the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. It is most common and occurs on both sides of the body, but some women also experience unilateral premenstrual headache. The pain is not fixed in location, usually in the forehead or back of the head, accompanied by nausea and retching. It may occur a few days before menstruation and reaches its peak during menstruation.

4. Breast disease

Before menstruation, the breasts often become round, swollen and painful, mainly around the sides of the breasts and the nipples.

5. Main manifestations of diet

Appetite increases, most people have a desire for desserts or a liking for some unique salty foods, while some are tired of some special ingredients or have anorexia.

6. Small pimples

The secretion of estrogen decreases, causing the production of sebaceous glands (oil is produced by the fat layer of the human body). Because the secretion of growth hormone decreases before menstruation, the skin is prone to allergies, becomes less smooth, and... L The metabolism of plant oils increases, and the probability of acne increases.

7. Fatigue

Although some women feel excited before their period, most women feel tired and have difficulty concentrating. This is due to unstable blood sugar levels.

8. Other

Some women with PMS also experience symptoms such as panic, hot flashes, sweating, dizziness, and vertigo. They may also experience increased skin oil metabolism, more acne, and changes in sexual desire.

How to relieve PMS

1. Eat a healthy diet

Blood pressure supplement high quality protein

Pregnant women can take calcium tablets or drink pure milk or soy milk to consume more high-quality protein. High-quality protein helps relieve stress, anxiety and other problems.

Drinking a glass of boiled milk before going to bed not only beautifies the skin but also promotes sleep.

Blood diet combination

Eating more sweet potatoes and grains, whole-wheat products, such as various main dishes made with rice, wheat flour, millet, as well as sweet potatoes, potatoes and other foods, can reduce fatigue. Drinking more water can maintain smooth bowel movements and reduce pelvic hematoma.

Drinking some beef liver and red dates porridge, ginger water and coix seed porridge, black fungus and red dates porridge and ginger, brown and red bean sugar water, etc., can all have the effect of nourishing blood and qi.

In terms of diet, eat more foods rich in starch, such as oatmeal, bread and so on. In addition, eating more lactic acid bacteria, low-fat milk, broccoli, cherries, winter melon, low-fat milk, chicken breast, etc. is also beneficial.

Avoid drinking caffeine-containing tea, ground coffee, and chocolate beans. The most important thing is to avoid smoking to avoid hindering the digestion and absorption of vitamins.

Vitamin D supplement

90% of pregnant women experience physiological changes in the early stages of their menstrual period, such as anxiety, swelling of the hands, feet and eyelids, breast pain, and abdominal distension. Vitamin D can relieve early menstrual syndrome. Vitamin D is best taken in through food. For example, eating four servings of low-calorie dairy products a day is a good choice, as is drinking yogurt or fortified orange juice.

2. Exercise

Yoga for blood pressure

It is recommended that everyone regularly do 30 minutes of effective yoga exercises, including: sitting and inverted postures, such as handstand and headstand. At least four times a week. Because yoga can release endorphins, a compound in the body that can make people feel happy, it can soothe the nervous system and increase blood oxygen to nourish the urinary system, which can deeply relieve stress and relieve PMS symptoms.

Blood night foot bath

Foot soaking helps promote blood circulation, relieve symptoms such as water retention, and at the same time alleviate menstrual pain caused by cold during menstruation.

You need to use more water, generate enough heat, and soak your feet for a longer time. You can't just take a basin and put a few drops of water in it. That will not have any health-preserving effect. At most, it is just foot washing, not foot soaking.

The temperature of the water for foot soaking should be between 38 and 43 degrees, but it is best not to exceed 45 degrees. The right choice is to buy a deeper tub that can fit your calf. Wooden tubs are relatively easy to insulate.

Supplementary steam sauna bath

Sauna bathing helps promote blood circulation and relieve dysmenorrhea.

The high temperature and low temperature environment can make the heart beat faster and the blood pressure rise to a certain extent, while soaking in cold water can slow down the heart rate and lower the blood pressure. Therefore, the room temperature, humidity, and bathing time, including the frequency of hot and cold alternation, must be strictly controlled. When taking a shower for the first time, stay in the high-temperature steam room for only 5 minutes, and then gradually increase the waiting time in the high and low temperature steam rooms.
