What are signs Periods is coming?
Common signs of Period:
Breast Pain: Changes in hormone levels before menstruation can cause pain, swelling, and tenderness in your breasts before your period.
Headaches: When estrogen levels drop before your period, it can trigger headaches, including migraines.
Cramps: Cramps in your lower belly are the most frequent menstrual complaint. Cramps that occur before or during your period are called primary dysmenorrhea. Unlike many other symptoms, which begin 6-7 days before your period and end when bleeding starts.
Bloating: Changes in your hormones can cause you to retain water before your period, making you experience bloating.
Joint Pain: Period cramps don’t just affect the belly. You may also feel pain in your muscles. The pain caused by your abdominal cramps can also extend into your lower back, giving you lower back pain in the days leading up to your period. Estrogen is a hormone that helps control joint pain, but right before your period, your estrogen levels go down. This can increase your joint pain.
Fatigue: Hormone changes before your period can affect your brain chemistry, making you feel more tired before menstruation. This can also cause sleep problems, which can contribute to your fatigue.
Diarrhea or constipation: When your period is coming, digestive symptoms tend to fall to the extremes. Some women get constipated. Some have diarrhea.
Acne: Changes in hormone levels can make your body produce more oil, which clogs your pores. This can cause you to develop pimples before your period begins.
Mood Swings: You may also experience mood-related symptoms. You may have crying spells or feel angry, sadness, anxiety and irritable.
