Symptoms and hazards of premenstrual syndrome in women

Women with mature sexual functions will discharge menstrual blood from their bodies every month. This is a normal phenomenon, but it is often accompanied by some uncomfortable symptoms, such as dysmenorrhea, dizziness, insomnia, chest pain, chest tightness, etc., as well as some negative psychological and mental changes.

Symptoms of PMS

Common symptoms include breast swelling and pain, lower abdominal distension or pain, cautiousness and tension, irritability or depression, fatigue, insomnia, headache, etc. In severe cases, there may be swelling of the hands, feet and face. In addition, a small number of women will experience some "strange symptoms".

1. Menstrual rash. Every 2 to 3 days before menstruation, the skin will experience itching, herpes, erythema, etc. The rash often occurs on the face, chest, back, and limbs. With the end of menstruation, the rash and itching symptoms will disappear without treatment.

2. Toothache before menstruation. Some women will experience toothache when drinking cold drinks within a week before their period. This is because before menstruation, the blood vessels in the dental pulp and periodontal mucosa expand and become congested due to the weight, and when the dentin is stimulated by cold, contractions occur. This symptom is not related to dental disease and does not require treatment.

3. Oral herpes during menstruation. Some women experience it 1 to 2 days before menstruation or 2 to 3 days during menstruation. It is more common on the lips, but can also be seen on the eyelids, around the nostrils, and other parts of the body. This is related to the fact that during menstruation, women's body resistance decreases and herpes virus lurks in the body.

How to treat PMS

Many women suffer from premenstrual syndrome and are troubled by it. So, do you know how to treat premenstrual syndrome? It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, let me introduce it to you below.

1. Dietary adjustment. During menstruation, in addition to not eating raw and cold foods, some foods with cool properties should also not be eaten, such as cucumber, winter melon, crab, snail, kelp, watermelon, etc.; some spicy foods should also be avoided during this period, such as fried foods, chili, pepper, mustard, etc., otherwise it will cause menstrual blood to flow smoothly.

2. Exercise therapy. Although women experience many inconveniences during their menstruation, doing some proper exercise can not only promote blood circulation and reduce the pain caused by blood stasis, but also relieve menstrual discomfort symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, back pain, depression, etc. to a certain extent.

3. Physical and mental relaxation method. During menstruation, many women are prone to anxiety, tension, depression or anger. At this time, they can relieve these negative emotions through acupressure massage, yoga and other methods. This can not only promote the brain to secrete some pleasure substances and improve people's mood, but also reduce the degree of dysmenorrhea.

4. If the dysmenorrhea is more serious, it is necessary to take medication for treatment.

What are the dangers of PMS?

1. Breast hyperplasia. Many women experience breast pain before menstruation, especially in the nipples, which are very painful when touched. This requires attention. If your nipples are still painful and feel hard lumps when touched after your period, you should go to the hospital for a check-up in time to confirm whether your breasts are hyperplasia.

2. Infertility. Among women with infertility, about 60% of patients experience varying degrees of dysmenorrhea during menstruation, and dysmenorrhea is one of the main symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. It can be seen that infertility and premenstrual syndrome are closely related.

3. Facial problems. Women with premenstrual syndrome may not only experience symptoms of dysmenorrhea, but may also have symptoms such as dull complexion and dry facial skin, and are prone to facial skin problems such as pigmentation and acne.

It is worth noting that among premenstrual syndrome, in addition to some symptoms that are primary physiological symptoms and will disappear with the end of menstruation, there are also some pathological symptoms. At this time, you must go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying the disease and causing harm to your health.
