Signs Your Period Is Coming?

How many times didn`t you feel that everything in your life wasn`t going like you planned, only to figure it out the following day that it was all related to your period? Mood swings and cramps are the probably the most popular, but there are a lot of other small, strange signs which may let you know that period is coming.

Signs Your Period Is Coming

Getting a period is something completely normal when growing up. During this monthly period, there`ll be a bit of blood coming out from the vagina for a couple of days. Here are the symptoms that you need to watch out for when your period is coming.

So as you may already know, PMS comes from premenstrual syndrome. This occurs when the hormones which control the menstrual cycle causes various changes regarding your emotions or body when the period is near.

Some of the most frequent PMS signs are:

  • Sore breasts.
  • Feeling tired.
  • Mood swings (when you feel your emotions changing fast and you tend to feel anxious, sad or angry).
  • Cramps (pain in the lower abdomen or lower back).
  • Breakouts (Pimples).
  • Bloating (when you feel the abdomen full).

Certain women experience premenstrual syndrome with almost all their periods, while other ones only from time to time. You might either experience all of them or only a couple of them.

How Early Do Premenstrual Symptoms Start?

The myriad of psychological and physical signs is believed to occur due to hormonal changes during the woman`s menstrual cycle.

The exact cause is still a mystery. Signs usually appear 5 to 10 days before the woman experiences her period, and dissipate when the period starts or immediately after.

As you have perhaps been told, it isn`t really “all in your head.” Studies have proven that women don`t imagine this; and, hopefully, there is help to come their way.

You Experience Cramps

Abdominal pains and cramps represent the most common menstrual discomfort. Unlike lots of other signs, which starts 1 or 2 weeks until your period and end when the period begins, cramps generally appear right before the bloody show starts and last for about 2 or 3 days.

All-You-Can-Eat Meals

I`m sorry! Are you going to eat that? The 3 breakfasts you had this morning were probably not enough and you still have a half a whole hour until lunch. Did you know that calorie requirements in fact increase in our bodies before period? So, if you may feel a gnawing bottomless-pit sensation down in the stomach, this is perfectly normal.

Bloating Leads to Discomfort

According to U by Kotex®, bloating represents the retention of fluids which might result in sensations of fullness around your waist, and it can often create discomfort. Although bloating cannot really be prevented, the factors contributing to bloating may be limited.

The best possible way to get rid of extreme bloating is to pay attention to your nutritional intake, especially sugar, salt or caffeine. Physical exercises may also increase the circulation of blood and help alleviate bloating.

Acne Breakouts

As you enter adolescence, you are likely to experience hormonal acne during your puberty. During this time of development, the levels of hormone are always fluctuating. Hormones might lead to oily skin, which in turn might clog the pores, therefore leading to the stimulation of breakouts.

The best possible method to treat acne breakouts is to clean the face twice per day. If you may think you experience serious acne, look for cosmetic products that contain salicylic acid, or get in touch with a doctor in order to find out more about your condition.

You Feel Tired, but You Cannot Sleep

Fatigue is a really uncomfortable symptom for lots of women at this moment of their menstrual cycle. Shifting hormones don`t only make you feel always tired, but they may disturb your sleeping pattern as well. Actually, chronic fatigue syndrome and PMS share lots of the same signs.

Mood Swings Are Always Present

Most PMS signs are the results of hormones, so the emotional symptoms are as real as the physical signs. Even though these are considered as the traditional PMS characteristics, doctors cannot put their finger on why they appear yet.

Body Aches

Lots of women have the tendency to experience some sort of achiness before the period. The most frequent areas where they experience tenderness include their lower back and breasts. These issues may very well be resolved with over-the-counter drugs and painkillers. Schedule a bit of time just for yourself and take easy for a couple of days until feeling relaxed enough.

How to Ease PMS Symptoms?

Women who experience serious PMS should visit a doctor and talk about possible prescription drugs in order to ease their signs. They can prescribe water tablets, antidepressants painkillers or hormonal contraceptives to relieve the symptoms of PMS. Still, you might want to choose to make a few changes in your lifestyle as well.

Take Supplements

There`re lots of commercial items with supplements available on the market to relieve symptoms related to the coming of your period. These particular products might normally contain vitamin E, St. John`s wort, calcium, gingko, primrose oil, magnesium, etc. Some of these specific alternative remedies might obstruct the other existing drugs, so you may need to contact a doctor before starting to take new supplements.

Nutritional Changes

You can reduce bloating by choosing to consume smaller meals more often throughout the day. Consume lots of vegetables, whole grains and fruits. Decrease your intake of salt, which exacerbates the retention of fluids. Add foods that contain calcium do your diet. Also, limit your consumption of caffeine and alcohol.

Acupuncture Therapy

Some women experienced a relief in their PMS signs through acupuncture therapy. The process involves inserting sterile needles at particular points into your skin. Make sure the therapist will be licensed.

Minimize Stress

Massage or yoga might help relive the levels of stress. Get a sufficient amount of sleep, which the body most likely needs. You should also try learning muscle relaxation as well as deep-breathing exercises.

Physical Exercise

Constant physical exercise will help you decrease mood swings and depression. Daily physical activities like walking, cycling or swimming for a half an hour may help against PMS signs. Regular physical exercise will aid you reduce the weight as well.

Other Methods

Applying heat to your lower abdomen might alleviate your cramps. Gentle massage on the lower area of the abdomen might offer relief when it comes to abdominal pains. Drink warm beverages (green tea) and take warm showers. Lie on one of your sides (fetal position) or on the back with the legs elevated. This type of positions might aid with the discomfort of PMS symptoms.
