There are signs a few days before my period.

For many women, their menstrual cycle is often irregular, sometimes early and sometimes late, which often leads to embarrassing incidents such as dirty jeans. If there are some signs before menstruation, women can be well prepared to prevent this problem from happening. So what are the signs a few days before menstruation?

Signs of menstruation a few days before

In the early stages of the menstrual period, women may experience drowsiness, irritability, depression, and a desire to sleep, or even sobbing or anger for no reason. In severe cases, they may be unwilling to talk to relatives and friends, and may become so withdrawn that they are bedridden. This is often accompanied by breast pain, abdominal distension, and constipation. Some people also gain weight and have edema 1 to 3 days before their period, especially swollen fingers when they wake up in the morning and swelling in their lower limbs at noon. Others also experience symptoms such as inattention, memory loss, difficulty in judgment, incoordination, and headaches before menstruation.

This symptom may first appear 10 to 14 days before menstruation, usually 4 to 5 days before menstruation, and will subside after menarche. The above symptoms do not appear in the same person at the same time, usually one person has 1 to 2 of them.

The exact cause of premenstrual syndrome is still unclear, but it is generally believed that it is likely related to the rapid growth and development of adolescent girls, inadequate development of the central nervous system, endocrine imbalance and stimulation of mental factors leading to central nervous system dysfunction and water-salt metabolism imbalance. In addition, vitamin deficiency, uterine and ovarian infections, and fungal infections can cause or aggravate the symptoms of premature menstrual syndrome.

There is also a reason that everyone recognizes, which is the spiritual factor. Many girls have no scientific understanding of menarche, and think that menstruation is "unfortunate" and "inconvenient", and are unwilling to face the reality. Therefore, they feel anxious and afraid before each menarche, especially when the menstrual period coincides with exams or major events, they feel more resistant to menstruation and have an increased psychological burden, which undoubtedly makes premenstrual anxiety syndrome more prominent.
