Talking about PMS, I have seen many men seem clueless about it. First, they asked what is the full form? Then after hearing 'Menstrual' in 'Premenstrual Syndrome', they went all ears.
Guys, are you also terrified of the questions like Can men never understand PMS?, Can men never comfort women with their PMSs? Here is everything you hesitated to ask about PMS to someone, read and share with your friends to let your women believe that you have known how it feels like having PMS.
What is PMS?
Premenstrual syndrome aka PMS is a horrible monthly experience for women which occurs 5-7 days before their periods. It is not common for every woman, some girls don't get it at all. It goes away within 1-2 days after periods arrive.
Why Does It Happen?
The dramatic fall in progesterone and estrogen levels makes PMS happen. Lack of physical workout and unhealthy diet make it reach its worst. It starts after the ovulation phase and causes many known and unknown symptoms.
