Menstrual Symptoms Can Indicate a Deeper Problem
Your menstrual cycle is a vital sign of your overall health, and when it's out of balance, it can signal that something deeper is going on. If you find yourself experiencing any of the following symptoms, it might be time to take a closer look at what's happening in your body.
Here are some symptoms that indicate it’s time to listen to your body:
Every month, you are dreading your period (or maybe the week before it too!)
If you find yourself filled with anxiety or dread as your period approaches, you are probably experiencing symptoms that are affecting your life and leaving you feeling frustrated and annoyed that it’s that time of the month again. It doesn’t have to be this way. You can learn to love your body for it’s natural rhythms by taking a deeper look at what’s causing your symptoms and supporting your health and wellness.You are knocked out once your bleed arrives by cramps, pain or fatigue
Period pain and cramps that disrupt your daily life are not something you just have to accept. Fatigue and debilitating cramps can be a sign to look deeper and rule out conditions like endometriosis or adenomyosis and to get support for your nutrition and lifestyle.You lose a hefty amount of blood every period and find it difficult to manage
Heavy periods, can lead to significant blood loss each month. This is not only challenging to manage but can also lead to iron deficiency. If you're bleeding heavily, it's essential to investigate why.You notice yourself feeling irritable, anxious or depressed at roughly the same time each month
Mood swings, irritability, and anxiety that hit around the same time each month are common PMS symptoms, but they don’t have to be your normal. If you’re experiencing severe mood changes around your period it’s important to rule out PMDD and get help to manage this. However, general PMS symptoms can often be managed with natural medicine with the right support.Your digestion habits change dramatically in the lead-up to or on your period, perhaps experiencing bloating, gas or diarrhoea that you find uncomfortable
