What should be considered is premenstrual syndrome (PMS). In most cases, PMS results from hormonal imbalances—particularly fluctuations in estrogen—occurring during the menstrual cycle. It may also be exacerbated by inadequate rest in daily life. Therefore, it is essential to consume sufficient protein-rich foods, drink brown sugar water regularly to help regulate bodily functions, and prioritize adequate rest and high-quality sleep.
