What Is Post Menstrual Syndrome?

What? Post Menstrual Syndrome? You must mean Post Menopause Syndrome?

Actually there is such a thing as post menstrual syndrome. This is where the exact same type of symptoms as what is experienced during PMS (anxiety, headache, depression, cramps and mood swings) are experienced after your period.

The truth is that these types of symptoms are not unique to PMS, and can occur with many other diseases or health disorders. For example, you could have period pains but no period.

Usual Causes of Post Menstrual Symptoms

Treatment for post menstrual symptoms should be similar to what you do for PMS symptoms – unless the cause of these symptoms is something more serious. Mostly, PMS symptoms are due to dietary insufficiency, lack of exercise, and lack of sleep or stress. It’s the same thing for post menstrual syndrome if the possible serious causes have been eliminated out of the picture.

Thus, if you want 5 natural remedies, you would first find appropriate articles about the PMS symptom on our site, look up the natural remedies and then start experimenting with them.

Example: Menstrual Pain

Let’s say the symptom is menstrual pain after the period starts. You would look up the articles on this topic (I know there’s at least one excellent one), discover the natural remedies and then start initiating them by incorporating them into your life.

For menstrual pain (period pain after your period ends), you could take vitamins and minerals. You could take herbs or try a period vitamin. You could try a magnesium oil and rub it into the area where the pain is. Or even soak in a bathtub with Epsom salts. Sometimes a calcium tablet will help eliminate menstrual pain.

In case you’re asking how long does it (menstrual pain) last, the best answer is until you get to the root of the cause. For example, the magnesium oil and magnesium bath would help if you are deficient in magnesium. The calcium tablet would help if you are low in calcium. The multivitamin and minerals (period vitamin) would help if you haven’t been eating a good diet. Herbs might help for other reasons, such as because they support the body’s different organs, and one of your organs was in need of a little extra help that the herbs provided.

Example: Depression

Let’s say your post menstrual symptom is depression. You could look up some of our articles for this topic. You’ll find that to relieve depression, you really have to approach it multifaceted. You could check for your vitamin D levels and see if they were low. If they are low, you could take the vitamin D that’s needed to get the levels back to normal. Since this takes a good three months, you might as well start another approach along with it.

If you haven’t been exercising, you could begin a program and see how that alters your depression. In the beginning you may not notice anything because you are preoccupied with muscle soreness after working out! Meanwhile, you could also change your diet and eat more protein, as protein provides enough amino acids for the brain to make its own necessary neurotransmitters.

This strategy is a relatively quick-acting one, and you should see a difference in a matter of days. You could also add a selenium and chromium supplement, which will naturally boost your energy and stamina, and might help relieve your depression.

There are so many natural remedies you can do yourself for both post menstrual syndrome and premenstrual syndrome. All you have to do is trust nature in the process, have an experimental mind, and go for it. What’s the worst that could happen? You might not find the right remedy the first or second time. That doesn’t mean give up; it means get busy.
