PMS and Dhysmenorrheal

HEY THERE!! WHAT’S UP?! Actually I wanted to update this blog yesterday, but uh.... I’ve got my PMS and gosh! it hurts so much. Yeah this is the women thing that we must face every month. Some friends told me that one of causes pain of PMS is spicy food. It’s that correct? Well I’m a spicy lover for sure and I don’t wanna change it, so let move on the topic to PMS relief hehehe...

After walking trough sites, I found some tips to ease the PMS, here they are :

Tips on controlling PMS

  • Eat complex carbohydrates (such as whole grain breads, pasta and cereals), fiber and protein. Cut back on sugar and fat.
  • Avoid salt for the last few days before your period to reduce bloating and fluid retention.
  • Cut back on caffeine to feel less tense and irritable and to ease breast soreness.
  • Cut out alcohol. Drinking it before your period can make you feel more depressed.
  • Try eating up to 6 small meals a day instead of 3 larger ones.
  • Get aerobic exercise. Work up to 30 minutes, 4 to 6 times a week.
  • Get plenty of sleep--about 8 hours a night.
  • Keep to a regular schedule of meals, bedtime and exercise.
  • Try to schedule stressful events for the week after your period.

I like the point number 7 hahaha…I found the tips right here.I also find the Yoga things for PMS relief at www.self.com here you can also see the video. I’ve tried and it works.

But after we can anticipate PMS what about the menstrual period, we often feel pain right? So painful that could bother our normal activity. This pain exist specially in first until third day of the period.That’s what called Dysmenorrheal. Dysmenorrheal are not usually serious problem, that caused by invection or ovarium cysts also by endometriosis. We can reduce pain by use heating pads or take a bath with warm water. We can also drink suplemens or medicine. But there’s a time that we must be carefull with the pain, if you deal with any of these situation, just go hurry see the doctor

  • Painful periods that started later in life
  • Pain at times other than the first couple of days of your period
  • Unusual vaginal discharge or bleeding
  • Pain that doesn't go away when you take medicine to relieve it

So…keep being a healthy woman.
