Many women complain about what is known as PMS (premenstrual syndrome). In addition, the manifestations of this complex of symptoms also disturb men, as their partners become irritable, nervous, and even experience unpleasant pain sensations. That is why treatment for PMS in Israel is essential for patients.
As mentioned, the complex of premenstrual syndromes occurs among women quite frequently. It is worth noting that doctors do not consider these manifestations as a disease or a specific pathology. Unpleasant sensations appear two to ten days before the onset of the menstrual cycle. The main problem with PMS is that it interferes with women leading a normal lifestyle, affecting their well-being both emotionally and physically. PMS is very "diverse"; its subtypes number a great many. The specific diagnosis depends on the symptoms as well as the timing of the disturbances (2, 5, or 10 days).
Causes
Among the "provoking" factors, doctors highlight previous childbirth or abortions, as well as infectious diseases and stressful situations. Possible risk factors also include women who lead an unhealthy lifestyle or have poor nutrition. However, doctors have not yet been able to precisely identify the causes of premenstrual syndrome.
Symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome
Among the symptoms of PMS, there is a whole group of disorders related to mental and emotional state, as well as the nervous and endocrine systems. Emotional problems can include frequent irritability, nervousness, or conversely, absolute passivity, a tendency to tearfulness, and depression. Vegetative-vascular disorders can also be registered: migraines, headaches and heart pains, nausea, and vomiting. Changes in the mammary glands, their swelling, edema, and changes in body temperature are manifestations of disturbances in the endocrine system.
Diagnosis of Premenstrual Syndrome in Israel
The cyclicity of symptoms, that is, their constant manifestation over a certain number of days, is the main sign of premenstrual syndrome. Because of this, patients are often advised to keep a special diary of their well-being, in which they need to note specific symptoms and their well-being, indicating the day of the menstrual cycle. Among more serious diagnostic methods are EEG, REG of the cerebral vessels, blood tests for prolactin and progesterone at different times of the menstrual cycle. The condition of the CNS and mammary glands is also assessed. Consultation with a psychiatrist, neurologist, and endocrinologist is often necessary.
Treatment of Premenstrual Syndrome in Israel
The main task is to eliminate or at least alleviate the manifestations. PMS cannot be completely cured. Treatment for PMS in Israel is comprehensive: pharmacotherapy, hormone therapy, massage, physiotherapy, balneotherapy, etc.
Prevention of Premenstrual Syndrome
If you want to prevent the appearance of unpleasant syndromes, eliminate stress, coffee, and alcohol from your life, stop frequently changing climates (for example, often traveling for vacations or business trips to distant countries), having abortions, and using combined oral contraceptives. Do not forget about proper nutrition, light physical exercises (yoga, meditation, aerobics), and you can take vitamins.
