There is not any gender segregation on knowing about Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS).
Regardless your gender, you may get effected by this.
Also known as Premenstrual Tension, PMS consists of psychological, physical and emotional symptoms.
PMS appears in many symptoms; such as headache, mood swings, depressions and abdominal cramps; just to name a few.
There are several ways to reduce severe PMS syndromes.
Managing your diet is an option by reducing coffee consumptions, drinking lots of water and taking herbal remedies.
Another try is take herbal medicine or pain killer.
One of the recommendations is to take Evening Primrose Oil on a daily basis.
Evening Primrose Oil is claimed as the source of Gamma-Linolenic-Acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid.
Naturally, our body use GLA to produce Prostaglandin to control and regulate different functions in our body, such as nervous, reproductive and hormonal balance.
As PMS is caused by hormonal imbalance, Evening Primrose Oil is claimed to reduce PMS syndrome as it helps to control hormonal balance.
I have been using Evening Primrose oil for about a year.
I take it one capsule of Evening Primrose Oil once per day and three capsules during my period.
I may say it does not help much in reducing PMS symptoms.
In fact I do not feel any significant differences on solving my PMS symptoms.
However there is blessing in disguise as I have fewer problems with my skin now.
I have less pimples and mileas.
My PMS remains unsolved but at least I have a better skin now.
