What Causes Tenderness In Breasts And Abdominal Cramps During Menstruation?
Good day, My name is Shantiell and I m 22yrs of age. I ve been menstruating since the age of 10 and I ve yet to experience a painless cycle. I would be appreciative of any insight or opinion on my problem. Each menstrual cycle comes with a lot of symptoms, my breasts get extremely tender to the point where it s painful to touch, I have really severe cramps, I have diarrhea and I vomit constantly through each cycle. I ve been to a few doctors but none of the medications I ve received helped. During this time I m unable to do any of my normal daily activities and it s really a hindrance. Appreciate any response given.
Hello I share your concern Such symptoms associated with menses are very troublesome for young girls This condition is known as premenstrual tension syndrome this can be related to excessive anxiety or stress (emotional) during or before periods
Severity of symptoms can be reduced with healthy life style modifications like Avoidance of coffee tea smoking and alcohol Good balanced diet and regular physical exercise is recommended Ibuprofen may help you in relieving pain and cramps You can take OCP pills after consulting your gynaecologist whenever you get an appointment have adequate sleep and rest Have multivitamin and calcium supplements with lots of fresh fruits and dietary fibers
Hope this helps you Best wishes
