What are the symptoms before menstruation?
As menstruation approaches, women may experience certain changes in their physical, mental, and behavioral states. These changes are due to hormonal fluctuations within the body, and the body will gradually return to its normal state after menstruation. During this period, maintaining a good mindset and regular schedule is sufficient. During menstruation, women's bodies become weaker, so apart from ensuring adequate warmth, they can also consume nutritious foods to help their bodies recover to a better state.
1. Physical symptoms: headache, backache, breast tenderness, abdominal distension, constipation, limb edema, weight gain, and reduced motor coordination.
2. Mental symptoms: irritability, anxiety, depression, emotional instability, fatigue, and changes in diet, sleep, and sexual desire, with irritability being the primary symptom.
3. Behavioral changes: difficulty concentrating, low work efficiency, memory impairment, nervousness, and excitability.
