What is Midol?
Even though women from every culture have been having periods for thousands of years, there are still a lot of misconceptions about this time of the month in a woman’s life. PMS, which stands for premenstrual syndrome, is a complex combination of both physical and emotional symptoms that you might experience a week or two to a few days before your period is due to start. The severity of these symptoms usually either lessens or completely disappears during the first few days after menstruation begins.
A lot of women experience undesirable monthly menstrual symptoms that signal their period is coming soon. And these symptoms are part of a condition called premenstrual syndrome a.k.a. PMS. Around 85% of women regularly experience a minimum of one PMS symptom with each monthly cycle.
The symptoms of PMS can vary and they can include:
- Cramps (sometimes severe)
- Bloating
- Fatigue
- Backache
- Headache
- Swelling
- Trouble sleeping
- Tension, irritability, mood swings or crying spells
- Other aches and pains
Because some of many of these symptoms can also be the same symptoms that perimenopausal and menopausal women also experience. Midol can effectively help to both soothe and relieve these unwanted and problematic PMS symptoms
