Hello Ma'am,. I am 37 years old and have High menstruation requiring 5 to 6 pad changes a day in the initial 3 days. It is also slightly clotted. Is this normal at this age and do I have do do any tests, if yes which? Also I have High mood swings , anxiety and irritation during the initial 10 days before start of menustation. There are no hot flushes or night sweats. Kindly guide.

Ans: These are Premenstrual symptoms which are grouped as PMS. Understand the physiology of Menstrual cycle in a woman
Preovulatory, ovulatory and premenstrual or post ovulatory, different hormones influence the body and mind. A woman is in the upbeat, more outward and cheerful in the first half before ovulation. She become more receptive and ready to listen during the time of ovulation and post that, she is more reflective and internalising certain processes.
If one closely follows the rhythm and give adequate time and space for this premenstrual phase and not meet targets, not going outward will help to sort out these symptoms. Along with this, adequate hydration, appropriate timely meals will support too
