What are the symptoms when approaching menstruation?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What are the symptoms before my period?

Doctor's answer:

That is, during the premenstrual period, one may experience fatigue, irritability, depression, sleepiness, or even crying or getting angry for no reason. In severe cases, one may be unwilling to interact with family and friends, become reclusive to the point of lying in bed, often accompanied by breast tenderness, a bloated feeling in the lower abdomen, and constipation. Some people may also experience weight gain and edema 1-3 days before their period, especially morning swelling in the fingers and afternoon swelling in the lower limbs. The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
