How unpredictable your mood gets that it surprises even your own-self.
Well, PMSing is quite a struggle!
And we are not alone, right?
Let's dig a lil more to know what PMS exactly is-
Premenstrual Syndrome [1]- is common ( but not necessarily normal ) where women who menstruate experience changes in their mood, behaviour and physical symptoms for a week or two leading to periods.
It occurs in the Luteal phase (known as the premenstrual phase) of the menstrual cycle.
The luteal phase [2] - is the two-week period (approximately) that occurs between ovulation and the next period.
As per the study, PMS can be present in 30-80% of women who menstruate and are a sign of hormonal imbalance.
An exact reason why PMS happens is not known but as per the theory, Estrogen and Progesterone levels start decreasing during the second half of the cycle.
PMS symptoms go away after a woman’s period starts as hormone levels start rising again.
