Why It Is Important To Treat PMS?

Most of the physicians did not take PMS serious, until recently. A greater number of women are suffering from PMS symptoms. There are over 250 types of PMS symptoms and the intensity of this condition varies from person to person.

PMS, if left uncured can considerably interfere with the professional and personal life. It ruins the health.

Though symptoms of PMS become visible before a few days of menstrual cycle, they may be observed otherwise too. Earlier PMS was found to be common in women in age group of 30 to 45.

Women who have late pregnancy are said to be at a high risk of developing PMS. But today, young girls are found to be suffering from the condition as soon as they enter puberty.

PMS makes your entire body weak. Let us consider a few cases here to see what exactly happens inside the body.

Pituitary gland regulates secretion of hormones. The hormones estrogen and progesterone play a vital role in functioning of the female reproductive system. Under excess stress the nerves give continuous firing signals to the pituitary gland to release hormones in order to manage with the stress.

This initiates excess release of estrogen too. Estrogen levels make the ovaries tender which eventually lead to bleeding.

PMS patients thus suffer from irregular periods, pain in breast and ovary tenderness. Because of irregular bleeding the body fatigues easily and gets depleted of essential nutrients. Due to these disturbances the body shows symptoms of hormonal imbalance like hair loss, hair growth on unwanted areas, water retention and mood swings.

Another problem with PMS patients is overweight. A bulge appears around the lower abdomen which does not go by conventional exercises. Besides, if one gives in to the cravings for sweet and salty foods before the periods your weight will increase by 2-3 kilos every month.

PMS is a serious condition. Increased mood swings, abrupt emotional reactions are difficult to explain to people surrounding you. It may make things intolerable at the work place and affect your efficiency.

Thus, it is extremely important that PMS is taken seriously. It is completely curable. Make sure not to consume contraceptive pills to regulate periods. They may worsen mood swings and may lead to depression.
