Hello,

Since these sensations are typically seen before menstrual bleeding, possibility of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is more likely. It is very common in women to have PMS.

Most common cause for this is hormonal changes during menstrual cycle, so no treatment is required. Just assurance and counseling are needed.

Sometimes multivitamin tablets containing folic acid, vitamin b 12, vitamin d3, niacin and pyridoxine are beneficial. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar
