Menstrual Problems

Common Menstrual Problems

Most issues teens confront when they start menstruating are completely normal. In fact, many girls and women have had to deal with one or more of them at one time or another :

Premenstrual Sydrome (PMS)

PMS includes both physical and emotional symptoms that many females get right before their periods, such as : 
  • acne
  • bloating
  • fatigue
  • backaches
  • sore breasts
  • headaches
  • constipation
  • diarrhea
  • food cravings
  • depression or feeling blue
  • irritability
  • difficulty concentrating
  • difficulty handling stress
  • feeling tense or anxious
Different girls may have some or all of these symptoms in varying combinations. PMS is usually at its worst during the 7 days before the period starts and disappears soon after it begins. But girls usually don't develop symptoms associated with PMS until several years after menstruation starts — if ever.
