What can I do to alleviate the problems caused by premenstrual syndrome?

Michael Tahery (Obstetrician & Gynecologist) gives expert video advice on: What causes premenstrual syndrome?; Are there alternative treatments that will help premenstrual syndrome? and more...

I think everybody should look for signs and symptoms of it, and see what helps them and what doesn't help them. For example, some women with premenstrual syndrome feel bloatedness, or fluid retention, well it's very important at this time then to cut back on the salt intake and the fluid intake to alleviate this symptom of premenstrual syndrome. Some women feel headaches coming when suffering premenstrual syndrome before their periods and alleviating this symptom of premenstrual syndrome may involve taking the anti-inflammatory medication or even tylenol prior to the day that they see this problem coming. So everybody should look for their symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and then of course try to help themselves in terms of the different opportunities for treatment of premenstrual syndrome. Also discuss relieving symptoms of premenstrual syndrome with their physician. Exercise is also very important in alleviating the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, diet is very important, fluid intake is very important. These are all things that can be altered by a person to make the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome more manageable.
