Symptoms of menstruation

Time of menstruation is a period of various changes in the female body. Sometimes they are almost invisible or not at all visible to others or to the girl, and sometimes the changes are conspicuous and because of them it is difficult to continue the usual way of life. This applies to both physiology and mood. Symptoms of menstruation all manifest themselves in different ways, and even in one person they can differ from time to time. PMS - premenstrual syndrome - a concept that is now heard by everyone. At the same time, it is not clearly expressed by every girl.

Differences in the organisms of different women are, first of all, in the duration of the menstrual cycle and signs of the onset of menstruation. In the first years after the onset of menstruation, the cycle is unstable, and this is perfectly normal. The interval between menstruation may be several months. This is because the body has not yet adjusted to the fact that now it has new functions and capabilities. Within a year or two, the cycle gradually stabilizes, and the girl can notice some symptoms of menstruation, characteristic of her body and appearing 5-7 days before her onset.

The most common symptom of menstruation is chest pain. It increases, becomes more sensitive than usual. In most women, the breast stops aching with the onset of menstruation, the rest of the pain completely passes to their end.

There are other symptoms before menstruation, typical of a large number of female representatives. For example, the desire to eat chocolate or a certain fruit - that is, taste buds are "tuned" to a certain taste and "require" only it.

There are whole legends about the symptoms of menstruation associated with the aggressive state of the girl. It does take place in some women. It is connected with hormonal reorganization. Many observe the causeless change of mood in the girl, when she first laughs, and then without any reason starts almost to cry.

The physiological symptoms of menstruation are aching pain in the lower back, edema on the arms and legs, bloating and some weight gain, an acute desire for sexual intimacy or, on the contrary, rejection of it under any pretext.

Another physiological sign is the appearance of rashes or pimples on the face that pass during menstruation. The reason for this phenomenon is the same hormones. In general, acne appears in young men, and in girls and during puberty due to hormonal adjustment.

One can not help but mention the pain in the lower abdomen. This unpleasant symptom most often makes itself felt for a day or two before the onset of menstruation and usually occurs on the first or second day of menstruation. Painful sensations in this area can be almost invisible and last only a few hours for some women; in others, pain begins almost a week before the beginning and lasts until the end of menstruation. It also happens that the pain is so strong that you have to go to the doctor. However, often such a strong manifestation of pain is a consequence of colds of female genital organs.

The girls themselves note such monthly symptoms as apathy, languid condition, unreasonable fatigue, dull condition, distraction, tearfulness. This is the reason for seeking "comfort" - sweets, etc.

Of course, all these symptoms of menstruation are very individual, and in some women almost all manifest themselves, while others have one, which practically does not bother.

To get rid completely of the symptoms of menstruation, alas, will not work. You can take pain medication to reduce pain in the abdomen, chest and lower back. Reduce puffiness can be, limiting the intake of liquid for several days.
