PMS Means...
Clothes too Tight? Weight Gain During PMS!
Weight gain during PMS can add to the misery experienced by many women during this time of the month. PMS weight gain is very common and mainly due to two factors. The first is fluid retention.
Severe PMS or PMDD? Understand the Difference!
Severe PMS affects around 40% of the menstruating women who regularly experience PMS symptoms. Severe PMS impacts the quality of life of those women affected infinitely more than the regular PMS symptom spectrum. The psychological and physical impact of severe PMS can be debilitating to the extent that the women affected can not function normally during the premenstrual period.
PMS Symptoms: Listen to your Body!
PMS (premenstrual syndrome) symptoms are more numerous and diverse than you may think. There are in fact, over 150 different PMS symptoms. No woman will experience every potential PMS symptom(although during some months, many women might argue this point!) in one cycle and no two women are likely to experience the same pattern of PMS symptoms. PMS symptoms are unique to the individual and can even vary in the same woman from cycle to cycle.
PMS Relief: Come and Get It!
PMS relief may be closer than you think. Relief from PMS symptoms can be achieved through simple adjustments made to your lifestyle and diet, pain relief and other prescription medication. Firstly, cutting back on, or eliminating caffeine and salty foods from the diet will provide relief from the fluid retention and bloating common in PMS.
PMS: Explaining Premenstrual Syndrome
PMS (Premenstrual syndrome)is a condition that as many as 90% of 20-50 year old women experience or suffer from during the premenstrual phase (the two weeks before the start of a period). Premenstrual syndrome is so called because it manifests as a combination of a multitude of premenstrual symptoms. Each woman's premenstrual syndrome is likely to be unique and PMS symptoms can even vary from one cycle to another.
