Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS)

Some call it “premenstrual stress.” A disorder that most often occurs between the 2^th and the 14^th day before menstruation

Imbalance in the secretion of female hormones during the pre-menstrual period. Excess folliculin.

PMS is linked to hormonal fluctuations (estrogen and progesterone) during the 2^th part of the cycle from ovulation. While estrogen secretion decreases, progesterone secretion increases, then drops in turn, in the absence of pregnancy.

Estrogens cause breast swelling and water retention which are normally alleviated by progesterone. However, if there is an excess of estrogen or a deficiency of progesterone, the symptoms persist.

It is believed that fluctuations between estrogen and progesterone are reflected in the level of neurotransmitters in the brain, in particular serotonin which acts on anxiety, pain, sleep, and heat regulation. All this would explain the psychological symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrome. The most common manifestations are: changes in mood, abdominal pain or heaviness, lower back and uterine pain, breast tenderness, change in appetite and weight, skin problems, anxiety, irritability, nervousness, depressive tendency, insomnia, headaches, nausea, water retention.
