PMS is a disagreeable but usually normal condition of females during the menstrual cycle. The severity and diversity of symptoms vary from one woman to the next and symptoms can continue anywhere from a few hours to several days. The most common type of PMS is called Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). About 5% of women of reproductive age are affected. PMS can occur when progesterone and estrogen levels fluctuate during the menstrual cycle. PMS can also be triggered by a woman’s genetic makeup. Women who suffer from PMS also have reduced serotonin levels. During their reproductive years, 85 percent of women, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, suffer at least one PMS symptom. The following are some of the most prevalent symptoms, which may differ from person to person:- Lack of appetite

When do periods change to abnormal?
Four of the most common types of abnormal periods are listed below.
Dysmenorrhea (Excess Pain During Period)
Dysmenorrhea is a condition that is categorized by menstrual pain and menstrual cramps. Depending on the cause, the conditions can be defined as both primary and secondary. An individual is affected by abnormal UTIs due to a chemical imbalance for primary dysmenorrhea. Generally linked to medical issues is secondary dysmenorrhoea. Some known causes involve abnormal pregnancy, uterine fibroids, inflammatory pelvic disease, and pelvic cavity tumors, or infections. In women who are smoking, obese, drinking exceedingly high alcohol in periods or beginning menstruation, the condition is most prevalent. This condition’s main symptoms are:- Lower back pain and pain in the legs
- Vomiting
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Lower abdomen pain or cramping
Menorrhagia & Polymenorrhea (Prolonged, Heavy Bleeding)
- Pelvic cavity tumors and infections
- Bleeding or platelet disorder
- Endothelin High Concentration
- Hormonal imbalance
- Uterine fibroids
- Other forms of abnormal pregnancy and Miscarriage
- Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
Hypomenorrhea (Extra Light Periods)
The opposite of menorrhagia is hypomenorrhea. Hypomenorrhea is a light-period disorder. It is often less than two days or less than 80 ml for menstruation. Using hormonal contraceptives such as oral contraceptives, IUDs or Depo-Provera® can result in this condition. Additional reasons may include:- Hormonal imbalance
- Premature ovarian failure
- Intrauterine adhesions or Asherman’s syndrome
- Stress or Nervousness
- Low body fat
- Pregnancy
Amenorrhea (Absent Periods) [H5]
Characterized by more than three cycles of missing or missed periods, is a menstrual disorder that is called Amenorrhea. Two kinds of this disorder exist primary and secondary amenorrhoea. The menstruation did not begin at puberty with primary amenorrhea. Secondary amenorrhea is caused by an increasingly irregular or absent normal menstrual cycle. For different reasons, women may suffer from this condition, usually due to biological life changes such as breastfeeding, pregnancy, or menopause. It can also be caused by medicines or by health problems such as:- Birth defects
- Thyroid disorder
- Excessive exercise
- Obesity
- Ovulation abnormality
- Eating disorder
