Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a collection of physical and emotional symptoms that many women experience in the days leading up to their menstrual period. Common symptoms include mood swings, irritability, bloating, fatigue, and breast tenderness. The exact cause of PMS is not fully understood, but it's thought to be related to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle. Symptoms typically resolve once menstruation begins. While PMS can be uncomfortable, various treatments such as lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and medications can help alleviate its effects. If symptoms are severe, it's important to consult a healthcare professional.
