Submitted by the Meher Clinic PMS is a disorder characterised by a set of hormonal changes that trigger disruptive symptoms in a large number of women for up to a fortnight prior to menstruation. There is a severe type of PMS called PMDD or Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder where women have some or all of the symptoms to such severity that they are out of control and unable to carry out normal life functions. The Meher Clinic has researched the latest findings and theories and added our own conclusions. Women suffering from PMS usually have a higher level of estrogen compared to the level of progesterone.
Progesterone plays an important role in regulating blood sugar levels.
Higher levels of estrogen can cause the retention of salt, which leads to fluid retention, and bloating. Fluid retention can affect the blood flow causing a decrease in oxygen to the uterus, ovaries and brain. Discomfort in the pelvic region and a foggy head can result. Depression and tension results.
