Nausea and vomiting before menstruation

In life, many women feel stomach pain during menstruation, and sometimes they feel nauseous and want to vomit.

1What causes nausea and vomiting during menstruation?

Nausea and vomiting during menstruation is generally considered to be "premenstrual tension syndrome". This syndrome usually manifests as nausea and vomiting a few days before menstruation. Typical symptoms often begin one week before menstruation, gradually worsen, and are most severe in the last 2 to 3 days before menstruation, and suddenly disappear after menstruation. In some patients, the symptoms take a long time to subside, gradually subsiding, and lasting until 3 to 4 days after the start of menstruation before completely disappearing.

2What is premenstrual syndrome?

Women of childbearing age experience a series of repeated mental, behavioral, and physical symptoms 7 to 14 days before their due menstruation (i.e. during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle), which disappear quickly after the onset of menstruation. Because the mental and emotional disorders of this disease are more prominent, it was previously named "premenstrual tension disorder" or "premenstrual tension syndrome".
