Hi,

The symptoms are normal pre menstrual symptoms but if your cycles are late by more than a week, I would recommend you to get a Urine pregnancy kit and take a test.

Pre menstrual symptoms generally in include a wide variety of symptoms like bloating, weight gain, breast tenderness, and abdominal cramps. But if the symptoms start effecting your daily life, then it's called a Pre menstrual syndrome (PMS) .

Although PMS cannot be cured, you do have a number of lifestyle and medications choices that can help.

1) Use Tab. Ponstel 250 mg once day to reduce pain from cramps. Don't take more than 1 tablet a day and not for more than 5 days as it can cause severe gastritis.

2) Take daily calcium and vitamin B6 to improve the hormonal regularization and reduce symptoms.

3) Maintain a daily regimen of exercise .It helps in improving the endocrine system which maintains the hormones and also helps in improving the mood and relieving tension associated with PMS.

4) Maintain a good healthy diet and reduce caffeine and chocolate from the diet. Also reduce any form of stress associated in your life.

Thank you.
