What are the symptoms before your period?

During menstruation, there are many things that women cannot do. They cannot drink or smoke when meeting with friends, and it is very inconvenient to travel on business. It is even more impossible to go swimming at the beach in the hot summer. If your period comes suddenly without any preparation, it will be extremely embarrassing, and your pants may be covered with a red map. Therefore, we must understand the symptoms before menstruation so that we can take preventive and preparatory measures in advance.

Symptoms before your period:

Mood changes: Many healthy women will experience changes in temperament. They are prone to anger and irritability before menstruation, and they may be restless, irritable, and impatient. Sometimes they may sulk and become emotional. In fact, these are all signs before menstruation.

Premenstrual discomfort: a feeling of pelvic heaviness, back pain, headache, breast swelling, edema, dull pain in the lower abdomen, general weakness, etc. are called premenstrual discomfort. The disease is generally mild and does not require treatment. However, some women have severe premenstrual symptoms that affect their work and life, which is called premenstrual syndrome.

Body edema: It usually occurs one week before menstruation. You may also have edema at other times and it may get worse before menstruation. Due to edema and weight gain, symptoms such as headache, runny nose, heaviness in the lower limbs, abdominal distension, and constipation may also occur.

Breast pain: Breast pain occurs before or after menstruation. There are nodules in the breasts, which are painful to touch. The pain is relieved after menstruation, but it reappears before the next menstruation.

Changes in vaginal discharge: The most obvious symptom is an increase in vaginal discharge. Before menstruation, the pelvic cavity is congested and the blood flow to the cervix and vagina increases, so the secretion of leucorrhea is more than usual. When the period is approaching, it may be a little pink, and then gradually turn into blood, which is menstruation.

Acne on the face: This is because the lipid composition of the skin surface before menstruation is significantly different from that in other periods. The sebaceous gland ducts of the hair follicles are smallest on the 15th to 20th day of the menstrual cycle (before menstruation), and sebum secretion is easily blocked, which causes acne to worsen before menstruation.

Adolescent women often experience the above symptoms before their menstrual period. At this time, they should restrain themselves, control their nervousness, and remain optimistic and cheerful. First of all, you must understand that this is a normal physiological phenomenon, which does not cause much harm to the body. The symptoms will subside with the onset of menstruation. The principle of diet is to eat light food, eat more vegetables and fruits, drink more boiled water, and enhance appetite.
