Severe PMS
The menstrual cycle is a natural episode that happens to women, starting at puberty and stopping during the menopausal stage. It is a monthly bleeding or shedding of women’s tissues and blood from the uterus. It is discarded through the cervix and out to the vagina. It happens once a month and lasts for about 3 to 5 days, though other women could reach up to a week and a few days. Before this happens, women undergo a phase called premenstrual syndrome (PMS). It is a series of signs manifested in the body that happens a week or two before menstruation. Women tend to experience a mixture of physical and emotional changes and shifts over a short period. Signs and symptoms are observable during these days. Signs like intense mood swings, unusual and excessive food cravings, tender breasts, irritability and unexplainable fatigue are some of the many results when women experience PMS. Research notes that a sufficient supply of calcium in the body would likely decrease the symptoms felt during PMS. Therefore, when women experience pain associated with PMS, it might be implied that there is a calcium deficiency.
