Pre-menstrual
Syndrome (PMS) affects all women to a greater or lesser degree
and is caused by the change in the balance of the female hormones
during the menstrual cycle. This change brings with it troublesome,
but mainly harmless symptoms. PMS can begin at any time from
two days to two weeks before menstruation. Physical symptoms
can include fluid retention, constipation, breast tenderness,
weight gain, headaches, nausea, skin eruptions, swollen joints
and nervous tension. In addition to these, there may also
be psychological symptoms such as tearfulness, irritability,
lethargy, low self-esteem, depression and food/alcohol cravings.
Fortunately most women only experience a few symptoms at any
one time. Others, who are more fortunate, experience them
at such a minimal level as to not be inconvenienced by them
at all.
