When menstruation causes discomfort

Menstrual cramps are widespread - almost half of all women suffer from them every month. This has a particularly negative effect on well-being: The hormonal change often leads to discomfort days before the start of your period. These "days before your period" - technically known as premenstrual syndrome or PMS for short - are often accompanied by tiredness, irritability and mood swings.

However, physical complaints such as a feeling of tension in the breasts, headaches and back pain, swollen legs or water retention before your period are also typical symptoms.
