Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is considered to be premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Symptoms such as headaches, breast tenderness, fatigue, tension, general weakness, depression or irritability, restlessness, insomnia, pelvic heaviness, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dull lower back pain, nasal congestion, and edema are all normal during the menstrual period and before it. After the menstrual period, the symptoms will naturally disappear. If there are no other abnormal symptoms, there is no need for special treatment. Rest during the menstrual period and avoid eating cold or irritating foods.
