What is Premenstrual Syndrome
Premenstrual syndrome, also known as premenstrual syndrome, refers to a series of mental and physical symptoms that women experience before menstruation due to hormonal changes in the blood during the menstrual cycle, including irritability, nervousness, nervousness, swelling, diarrhea, breast swelling, and other symptoms, which disappear with the passage of menstruation.
Premenstrual syndrome generally occurs 7-14 days before menstruation. The typical premenstrual syndrome starts one week before menstruation, and the symptoms gradually worsen. It is most severe 2-3 days before menstruation, and suddenly disappears after menstruation.
The incidence rate of prophase syndrome is 50% of women, and the incidence rate of women between 20 and 30 years old is the highest. Female friends can effectively alleviate and prevent the occurrence of premenstrual syndrome by strengthening exercise, maintaining a happy mood, and maintaining good lifestyle habits in their daily lives.
