What are the physical symptoms before your period?

Menstruation is women's menstruation, which is a normal physiological phenomenon and usually comes regularly. However, menstruation is not always very regular. If it comes suddenly, it can catch people off guard. Fortunately, women's bodies will have some signs before their menstrual period. These symptoms can help us prepare better, and this is something we must know. So, what are the physical symptoms before menstruation? Let’s take a look below.

1. Many women will experience severe edema in the first few days before menstruation. The common symptoms are swelling of the hands, feet and eyelids. Some women may even experience breast pain and abdominal distension, and even increase their weight!

2. Premenstrual headache: This type of headache is more obvious. The headache symptoms appear several days before menstruation, accompanied by nausea and even vomiting. It is persistent or comes and goes, and may be related to intermittent intracranial edema. If women confuse it with menstrual migraine, the latter is often unilateral and lasts for several hours without causing dizziness.

3. Pelvic pain: In the few days before menstruation, many women will experience pelvic distension and lumbar pain. In fact, there is no need to worry. The pain will disappear after the menstruation ends. In fact, this situation is mainly related to the action of prostaglandins and edema and congestion of pelvic tissues.

4. Breast pain Many women have experienced this situation a few days before their menstrual period. Many women experience breast fullness, swelling and pain. The outer edge of the breast and the nipple area are the most important. What's more, it will affect the armpits and shoulders, and affect their normal sleep. When you touch it with a thin needle, there is no feeling of localized lump, and this situation will completely disappear after the menstrual period ends.

5. There are great changes in mood and people are often very anxious. Their mood will fluctuate with external factors and they are prone to irritability. They will quarrel and cry over simple trivial matters and cannot control themselves. But there is also an opposite situation, that is, depression, emotional indifference, love of being alone, unwillingness to interact with others and participate in social activities, and sometimes even mental disorder.
