Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) Symptoms and Stages

Conclusion

PMS can become a very serious problem – some women are deprived of their ability to work for several days. If the premenstrual syndrome is accompanied by very painful cramps, and “folk remedies” do not help, you need to see a doctor. Remember that water retention caused by your period usually goes away right after your period ends!

The danger of PMS is that, without a medical opinion, the patient can take for it other, much more serious diseases that require a different treatment. Often, severe neuroses, depression, and other nervous diseases are mistaken for PMS. Migraine can be caused by vascular problems, tumors, and diseases of the spine, edema – by kidney pathology. Therefore, for the treatment of PMS, you must definitely contact a specialist and undergo all the prescribed examinations.
