PMS - what is it and is everyone familiar with it?
The three-letter abbreviation stands for
premenstrual syndrome. This term is called the set of changes and symptoms that appear shortly before the onset of critical days. To date, about 150 various signs of this condition have been recorded. Some of them are noticeable to the woman herself and the people around her to a greater extent, while others are less visible. It is for this reason that some ladies consider themselves independent of the hormonal background, but in reality they simply do not notice the changes taking place. PMS usually lasts from a few days to a week, sometimes a little longer. It is impossible to cure this syndrome, since it is not a pathology. In order to improve the quality of life and get rid of the symptoms that cause discomfort, it is enough to take simple measures.
