PMDD
Hei! I have been having very strong pmdd-symptoms for three months now. I was also diagnosed with hipotiroidismo before Xmas. Could these two be related? In march I thought I was going crazy and I was prescribed terolut (progesterone pills). After that I had two periods not that difficult. But the last period I had (ended a week ago) was awful, I gained a lot of weight, I had anxiety attacks etc. After my period ended I was doing very well for a bit more than a week, until last night and now I feel that my symptoms are already coming back. I don´t know what to do. I cannot use birthcontrol pills because I have also vulvodynia. When I don´t use birthcontrol pills I don´t have vulvodynia symptoms but when with birthcontrol pills I don´t have pms-symptoms. I would be very grateful for any suggestions / help!

Hello,
Premenstrual syndrome is the name of a group of physical and emotional symptoms that start 7 to 14 days before your menstrual period begins. The symptoms usually resolve within a few days after bleeding starts.
You can control it by lifestyle adjustment. Drink plenty of fluids, eat frequent small meals, fresh fruits and vegetables, cut down on caffeine and eat Calcium rich foods include dairy products, dark green vegetables, nuts, grains, beans and canned salmon and sardines (with bones). Calcium supplements may also be used.
You can take OTC pain killers for the muscle cramps.
In case you are having scanty or heavy menstrual blood flow during periods then please consult a gynecologist/obstetrician as you may get the progesterone pills changed, Moreover vulvodynia may not necessarily be due to birth control pills and the exact cause of vulvodynia should be found out.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
