Arora's Assessment
What might be happening
Based on the symptoms you've described, you might be experiencing:
-
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS): This is a common condition that includes a variety of physical and emotional symptoms that occur in the days before a woman's monthly menstrual cycle. These can include breast tenderness, bloating, mood swings, and fatigue.
- Treatment often includes lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep. Over-the-counter pain relievers may help with physical symptoms. If symptoms are severe, a healthcare provider may recommend other treatments.
-
Early Pregnancy: Some of the symptoms you've described, such as breast tenderness, bloating, mood changes, and fatigue, can also be signs of early pregnancy.
- If you suspect you might be pregnant, you should take a home pregnancy test. If the test is positive, you should make an appointment with a healthcare provider for prenatal care.
Please note that these are potential explanations based on the symptoms you've described, and the only way to know for sure is to consult with a healthcare provider.
