Pre-Menstrual Syndrome, or PMS, is the term given to a group of symptoms which affect a number of women during the time prior to their period. Hormonal changes around this time give rise to a number of different afflictions, of which water retention is just one.
Although Aquaban and new Aquaban Herbal can help alleviate the water retention, there are other physical symptoms of PMS that can include skin complaints and headaches. There are also a number of psychological symptoms of PMS such as frustration, loss of control and depression. In fact, the scope of problems associated with PMS is so wide-ranging that in a survey conducted by Aquaban of over 300 women aged 16-50, 60% claimed to have suffered from it at some stage in their lives. 35% claimed to have suffered from water retention, and although on average sufferers were affected for 1 to 2 days only just over 1 in 3 women said they took action to treat their PMS.
However, gone are the days when PMS was something women just had to put up with. There are many things that can be done to ease symptoms, and you should never be afraid to seek the advice of a qualified professional.
Tension and irritability are also major symptoms of PMS, so much so that many people refer to it as pre-menstrual tension. PMS can put a strain on relationships and generally wreak havoc at work and home, but it needn't take over your life. Simple lifestyle and dietary changes can help you cope with the external stresses and strains and remain calm when PMS rears its ugly head.
