We all know that every healthy and normal woman will experience menstruation every month. Before the menstruation comes, their bodies will give some signs.

They will want to drink water especially and feel that they can never be full no matter how much they drink. So at this time, sanitary napkins must be prepared in advance. So what are the symptoms of women a few days before their menstruation?

How many days do symptoms last before menstruation?

1. Fatigue, irritability, depression, drowsiness, and even crying or anger for no reason may occur before the menstrual period. In severe cases, the patient is unwilling to pay attention to family members and friends, and is so withdrawn that he or she is bedridden. This is often accompanied by breast tenderness, lower abdominal distension, and constipation. Others gain weight and have edema 1 to 3 days before the menstrual period, especially swollen fingers in the morning and lower limbs in the afternoon. Some people also experience symptoms such as inattention, forgetfulness, difficulty in judgment, uncoordinated movements, and headaches before menstruation. These symptoms may appear as early as 10 to 14 days before menstruation, usually 4 to 5 days before menstruation, and disappear after menstruation comes. The above symptoms do not appear in the same person at the same time. Generally, one person will have 1 to 2 of them.

2. The exact cause of premenstrual symptoms is still unclear, but it is generally believed that it is likely related to the rapid physical development of adolescent girls, incomplete development of the nervous system, endocrine disorders and stimulation of mental factors leading to autonomic nervous system dysfunction and water and salt metabolism disorders. In addition, conditions such as vitamin deficiencies, ovarian infections, and fungal overgrowth can induce or aggravate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. There is another reason that is recognized by everyone, which is the psychological factor. Many girls have no scientific understanding of menstruation. They think that menstruation is "bad luck" and "troublesome" and are unwilling to accept the reality. Therefore, they become nervous and fearful every time before their menstruation. Especially when their menstrual cycle coincides with exams or important events, they feel more repulsive to menstruation and their psychological burden increases, which undoubtedly makes premenstrual syndrome more prominent. The first day of bleeding is called the beginning of the menstrual cycle, and the interval between the first days of two menstrual periods is called a menstrual cycle, which is generally 28 to 30 days. About 7 days earlier or later is still within the normal range, and the length of the cycle varies from person to person.
