Wearing a well-fitting bra will help you feel more comfortable, and eating less salty food will help reduce the amount of water that your body is storing. Periods can affect one's mood too. Before their period starts each month, some girls feel tearful or depressed. Sometimes girls feel bad tempered because their breasts feel sore or their body feels a bit swollen or bloated. Try not to let it bother you too much.
Many girls experience a bit of abdominal pain or cramps during their period.
These cramps happen because the muscles of the uterus are contracting while the lining is being shed. These cramps are normal and can be managed. If the pain is strong, lie down and try to completely relax your body by breathing in deeply and slowly. You can also gently massage the abdomen and back. Alternatively, a hot water bottle placed on the abdomen and lower stomach will give relief.
