If, by a happy coincidence, you are not yet familiar with PMS, then you have every chance of becoming familiar with it, for example, already during your first pregnancy, when the load on your body is just beginning to increase. What is it? PMS is not a disease, it is a condition that occurs in all women burdened with hormonal problems. This is expressed in the form of severe pain during menstruation and bloating. But why can this syndrome occur in every woman? The main cause for PMS is excess progesterone production. Here's a quick guide to the most common form of PMS in the world today.
Causes of premenstrual tension syndrome. The normal course of the menstrual cycle depends on the level of hormones. If their ratio is disturbed, and estrogen levels are high and progesterone levels are low, a typical picture of premenstrual disorders is formed. But there are other reasons. For example, this includes poor nutrition with a predominance of foods that negatively affect the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, a lack of vitamins and minerals, and an unfavorable psycho-emotional environment at work or at home. Also, sometimes the cause may be the presence of several gynecological diseases at once. For example, endometriosis is a disease that manifests itself as nagging pain during menstruation and high fever before menstruation. All this gradually creates problems in the functioning of the organs of the reproductive system and can provoke the development of PMS.
