Having an inconsistent uterus is wild because you you’ll be just going along living your life and then all of a sudden there is a PAIN in your stomach and you go through your checklist and it’s not a stomach ache pain or a sickness pain…

And then you’re like OHHHH and several days of feeling sore and having quick access to your emotions makes sense

PMS Relief: Find What Works for You

Introduction:

PMS is a state experienced by many women whose symptoms show up within 1 to 2 weeks before the start of menstruation, and they revolve mostly around hormonal changes affecting physical, mental and emotional conditions. Identifying ideal therapies for PMS that would improve daily functioning, is also useful. This blog will address: natural and non-pharmacological approaches to treating PMS symptoms, which will be explained through recommendations on lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and other medicine for premenstrual syndrome.

What is PMS?

PMS is a hormonal disease that focuses on the fluctuations in levels of estrogen and progesterone hormones. Such hormonal changes have several effects on the body, including tender breasts, weight gain, mood swings, irritability, and constant fatigue. As for the present article, it is important to understand the origins of these symptoms in order to find the cure.

Symptoms of PMS:

PMS symptoms can vary widely but often include:

Mood swings

Irritability

Fatigue

Bloating

Breast tenderness

Headaches

Anxiety

Depression

These symptoms are due to alterations in interact function between steroids and hormones such as dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin.

Natural Ways to Manage PMS:

1. Increase Serotonin Levels Naturally:

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter which has an impact on person’s feelings. It has been preceded that inositol enhances serotonin signaling and that low levels of serotonin are associated with mood swings and depression, both of which are symptoms of PMS. Here are some types of foods that directly enhance serotonin:

Diet Tips:

Make sure to consume products containing complex carbohydrates such as rice, fruits and vegetables.

One should take products rich in lean protein for instance chicken fish and beans.

Take monounsaturated fats in nuts, seeds and avocados since they help reduce cholesterol levels.

This means that one should refrain from consuming foods in boxes, sugary foods, and foods that contain caffeine.

2. Stop Being a Night Owl:

Another crucial principle of daily life and hormonal balance is wake-sleep cycling or rhythmicity. It was also found that lack of sleep would lead to aggravation of PMS.

Sleep Tips:

The recommended amount of hours for sleep is between seven and nine hours for a competent level of functioning.

Stay on a regular sleep-wake schedule and avoid sleeping during the day hours.

Ponder on the creation of a relaxing bedtime regimen of reading or bathing with warm water.

This means that activities that involve use of screens or anything that would stimulate the brain should be avoided just before sleeping.

3. Take Sun Baths and Engage in Physical Activity:

In addition to affected mental health conditions, natural sunlight exposure and subsequent physical activities can improve many PMS symptoms. It assists the body in the synthesis of vitamin D, which plays a critical role in mood as well as in the body’s general wellbeing.

Activity Tips:

Get 15 to 20 minutes of sunlight exposure per day.

Perform activities such as yoga, exercise, Surya Namaskar or morning walking which enhances the secretion of endorphin thus helping to calm the nerves.

Physical activity contributes to the regulation of hormonal levels, elevates one’s spirits, and combats bloating.

Understanding the Role of Neurotransmitters:

Neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin are known to cause or exacerbate PMS symptoms.

Dopamine: Associated with pleasure and reward system. Whereas, low levels can cause depression and lack of aspiration or motivation. The levels of dopamine can be increased through exercises as well as fun activities.

Serotonin: Closely related to mood control and modulation. Tasty foods, drinks, and regular exercise help to enhance the serotonin level in the human body.

Oxytocin: It is popularly referred to as the ��cuddle hormone’ since it aids in the bond formation and the calming effect. Oxytocin level can be boosted through participation in activities such as those involving yoga, interpersonal communication, and touching.

Finding the Right Medicine for Premenstrual Syndrome:

While lifestyle changes can manage PMS, some may need medication. Consult a healthcare professional to explore options like these:

Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen and aspirin.

Hormonal treatments like birth control pills to regulate hormone levels.

Antidepressants, mainly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), for severe mood-related symptoms.

Moreover, “Upasham Tablets” by Abhinav Healthcare are natural remedies that have shown fairly promising results for PMT patients. This Ayurvedic medicine effectively helps in treating various PMS symptoms through the use of natural ingredients that balance hormones and reduce discomforts.

Conclusion:

Effectively managing premenstrual syndrome necessitates a holistic approach including dietary improvements, changes in lifestyle and medical interventions when necessary. Appreciating the hormonal and neurotransmitter aspects of PMS enables one to make decisions on how to minimize these symptoms and improve quality of life. Importantly, what works for one person may not work for another; therefore it is important to find the right combination of approaches that will suit you best.

Upasham Tablets from Abhinav Healthcare could be worth considering by anyone searching for Ayurvedic medicine for premenstrual syndrome and menstrual irregularities. The right blend of dietary modifications along with an appropriate drug regimen can go a long way towards managing PMS effectively while also enhancing physical issues.

Okay so this is for the girlies especially those with pcos but not limited to. I have some questions that I was wondering about. So any thoughts would be helpful

So has anyone on birth control all of a sudden had very long periods? My periods have been 4 days long ever since being on birth control with the occasional 7 day one. But legit my last period was 12 days. This one is going on 2 weeks long now. And it doesn't feel normal 😅

Has anyone had like a major cyst burst and know what that feels like? The one night I was feeling some pain and then just I felt so nauseous like I was going to puke I got overheated and beyond sweaty like I had a fever and after several minutes that all went away minus maybe the pain. It seems from Google that could be what happened but like I'm not sure 😅

Yes I plan to call my doctor Monday especially if I keep bleeding but any final thoughts? This whole thing is odd but I guess just has anyone else with pcos had abnormally long periods? I've never had one for 2 weeks straight! It's so weird and I guess just looking for anything at this point

New Jersey has created, on its government website, a whole side of the site just for periods. Which it was RUNNING ADS FOR.

So not only have they acknowledged the existence of and lacking care for menstrual health and issues (which in itself is a big win), they’ve also gathered medical information and resources about it, linked to helpful organizations around the state or beyond, made it openly accessible in one online location, and then SPENT ACTUAL MONEY to advertise it so people with periods notice and can actually learn anything about periods for perhaps the first time.

It’s got:

••• What is normal and what is not normal when it comes to menstruation and menstrual pain

••• Period issues, including PMS and PMDD (which people are often gaslit about, especially by male-sex people and scientists), irregular periods, paused periods, heavy periods, period pain, ovarian cysts, fibroids, PCOS, endometriosis, and toxic shock syndrome (and what, other than tampons, can cause it)

••• How periods interact with fertility and pregnancy

••• Introductory info for teens and prepubescent kids (others too) nervous about or still inexperienced with periods, like what to expect, how to manage, what period products are out there, how to choose them, and what a first gyno visit is like

Plus, they include Planned Parenthood as one of their three official healthcare resources (alongside the state health insurance marketplace and NJ Medicaid) and, amongst their resources, a newer NJ organization looking to provide accessible period care for all (including, from what I can tell, trans men, nonbinary people, etc. who menstruate).

This is hopeful news (especially these days, with sexism surging legally and culturally, offline and online), but the website also has a lot of potentially useful, simple info for anyone with periods, not just NJ residents. So if you need help or introductory info, maybe check it out.

is it true that pads/tampons have chemicals in them to screw with your cycle?

i've read online that they have chemicals that make your period longer and can make cramps worse. i recently switched from disposable products to reusable, and while my period didn't get shorter, it became less painful. i used to get cramps so horrible that i couldn't differentiate between cramps and hunger pains (i have eating issues so i can't tell if i'm hungry until my stomach starts hurting) and felt like i was gonna throw up. and not tea, chocolate, heat or even up to 4 pain meds would stop it.

now, for the past 2 periods when i haven't used a single disposable pad, i've had almost no cramps, the ones i have are very light and go away with half a tylenol

(and if it depends on brand, i've only ever used kotex, which says that they don't use harmful things?)

I don't know that it's true the pads/tampons have chemicals in them specifically to screw with your menstrual cycle.

I do know that there's quite an amount of pads/tampons that have chemicals in them, some of which are dangerous. I don't know that I've read they have chemicals that specifically made people's periods longer/worse. (I'd love to read more about it, if you want to link the articles you're reading for me.)

What I do know is that some people are allergic to the pads/tampons they use and that can worsen or cause symptoms similar to bad period-related pains. Especially if they're scented.

It does sound like it could've been the pads/tampons causing those symptoms! (Not definitely, but its a strong possibility.) That's good to know.

Not sure how helpful this is but let me know if you have any other questions! <3

Tune in for this week’s:

Am I On My Period or Am I Shitting Blood and Dying?

[fuyuoh3]

Question for people that get periods.

On my heavy days (first 2-3) I change my pad every 2-3 hours (sometimes even only after 1 hour) is that normal?

1. They are full

2. They're size 4

3. I generally go through a whole box of 28 pads each period. Sometimes there's like four left.
