How can I manage symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS)?

Managing symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) can be challenging, but there are several strategies to help ease discomfort. Regular exercise can improve mood and reduce bloating. Keeping a symptom diary can help you identify triggers and patterns in your cycle, making it easier to manage. A balanced diet rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables can also help, as can staying hydrated. Some women find relief through over-the-counter pain relievers or supplements like calcium and magnesium. If symptoms are severe or significantly affecting your daily life, it’s important to consult your GP for further evaluation and potential treatment options.
