Why does PMS occur?

Menstruation is a very important physiological phenomenon for women. Every woman will have menstruation every month. Generally speaking, most women will experience some discomfort before their menstruation. However, each woman's physical condition is different, and the symptoms before menstruation are also different. The more common premenstrual syndrome includes chest pain, irritability, and mood swings. You can usually judge whether you are about to have your menstruation based on these.

Why does PMS occur?

1. Mental factors: Some patients may suffer from worsening of their original illness due to emotional fluctuations or mental stress.

2. Imbalance in the ratio of estrogen to progesterone: If the estrogen level is relatively too high and the progesterone level is insufficient, it may also cause premenstrual syndrome in women. It may also be due to abnormal tissue sensitivity to progesterone. Under normal circumstances, progesterone tends to promote water excretion. If the progesterone ratio is unbalanced, it can easily lead to weight gain in women.

3. Insufficient vitamin B6: Vitamin B6 can effectively help people promote the elimination of estrogen in the body and can effectively help people alleviate some negative emotions. A lack of vitamin B6 may cause premenstrual syndrome.

4. Endorphin theory: Since changes in endorphin levels can affect mental and neurological factors, intravenous administration of endorphins can increase prolactin concentrations. The endorphin inhibitor naloxone often acts on the endorphin receptors to change the secretion of luteinizing hormone, and β-endorphin also changes with the menstrual cycle, so premenstrual syndrome is very likely to occur.

Patients with premenstrual syndrome generally experience some symptoms half a month before menstruation, which worsen two or three days before menstruation. However, the symptoms will be significantly alleviated after menstruation. Some symptomatic treatment methods can be used to effectively alleviate the severity of premenstrual syndrome.

Premenstrual syndrome has a huge impact on female friends, especially for working women, which will greatly affect their work efficiency. Therefore, in order to avoid this phenomenon again, we need to correct these causes in time. Female friends must relax before their period and not put too much pressure on themselves.
