PMS
Many women dread PMS symptoms more than their monthly cycle. Nutrition, stress, medical issues, and hormone imbalances can worsen symptoms. Understanding how to optimize your health can help ease symptoms and restore your health.
Do All Women Experience PMS?
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) affects nearly 48% of reproductive-age women. It can trigger many uncomfortable symptoms, altering your health and wellness. Many women experience PMS symptoms that range from mild to severe.
It’s hard to miss uncomfortable signs before your monthly cycle. Headaches, breast tenderness, fatigue, and mood swings are common symptoms for many women. Some women even experience anxiety, low libido, and brain fog.
PMS Can Alter Your Physical and Mental Health
PMS symptoms begin somewhere between 1 to 14 days before menstruation. Hormone or chemical imbalances can increase these symptoms. These changes can result in depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns.
Contrary to what many believe, PMS can affect your ability to function, leaving you feeling discouraged. The good news is that holistic therapies and lifestyle changes can ease symptoms and improve your quality of life. Working with an experienced naturopathic physician can help you create a treatment plan to restore balance to your health.
