🥴 PMS Symptoms Getting Worse? Let’s Talk About It
By Dr. Soma Kumari – Consultant Gynecologist & Obstetrician, Gurugram
Every month feels like an emotional rollercoaster? You’re not imagining it — PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) can be tough, and yes, it can get worse over time.
Let’s break down what’s normal, what’s not, and when it’s time to get help. 💬
🔄 What is PMS, Really?
PMS includes the physical and emotional symptoms that show up a few days (or even weeks) before your period. Common signs include:
- 😖 Cramps and bloating
- 🥺 Mood swings, irritability
- 🍫 Food cravings (hello chocolate!)
- 😴 Fatigue and trouble sleeping
- 🧠 Anxiety, low mood, or brain fog
If these symptoms are mild and short-lived, it’s usually nothing to worry about. But if they’re getting worse — it’s time to listen to your body.
🚩 When PMS Isn’t “Just PMS” Anymore
Some women experience more intense symptoms like:
- 🥵 Severe mood changes or depression
- 😤 Anger, irritability that affects relationships
- 🛏️ Needing to take time off work or cancel plans
You might be experiencing PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) — a more intense form of PMS that needs medical support.
Also, conditions like PCOS, thyroid imbalances, or perimenopause can worsen PMS symptoms.
🧘♀️ What Can You Do to Feel Better?
Small changes make a big difference:
- 🧃 Cut back on caffeine, sugar, and processed food
- 🧘 Try yoga, breathing exercises, or walking
- 💤 Prioritize sleep and a steady sleep schedule
- 🥗 Eat foods rich in magnesium, calcium, and B6
- 📲 Track symptoms with a period or mood app
Some women also benefit from supplements or mild medication — but always check with your doctor first.
