Brief Answer:
premenstrual syndrome
Detailed Answer:
Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
The symptoms you have mentioned are common in period especially after ovulation. There may be bloating sensation in lower abdomen causing feeling of pressure sensation.
Thus is due to progesterone hormone.
As the menstrual cycle ends the hormone effect also end causing relief from symptoms.
Next cycle when ovulation happens especially after midcycle the symptoms recur.
If mild then no need to worry.
You can take mild antispasmodic like meftal spas which will relieve the cramps
Evening primrose oil capsule also helps if taken for three months.
Please consult your doctor before starting the above mentioned medicine.
Thanks
