Signs of the onset of menstruation in adult women
In adult women, the approach of another menstruation can manifest itself in completely different ways. Someone does not even notice any signs and is surprised to find stains of blood on his panties, while others are unbearably tormented by pain and other unpleasant sensations already 2 weeks before the onset of discharge.
In most cases, the symptoms that indicate a rapid onset of menstruation appear as follows:
- The mammary glands enlarge in size, become rough, become more dense and sensitive. Touching the nipples causes pain and discomfort;
- an unpleasant sensation of not passing dryness appears in the mouth;
- on various parts of the body and face, mainly in the forehead area, there are many different eruptions. This symptom usually disappears in women after 30-35 years;
- finally, just before the start of menstruation, most girls experience painful painful sensations in the lower abdomen and in the lower back. Almost always the pain persists and within 2-3 days after the onset of menstruation.
The nature of the discharge from the genital tract in adult women on the threshold of menstruation usually does not change, although the amount of whites may increase. If, shortly before the menstrual period, you find unusual discharge, it is better to see a doctor for a detailed examination.
