Premenstrual edema. This type of edema is related to changes in menstrual cycle and changes in endocrine function, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. Before the female physiological cycle, due to pelvic congestion, the uterus becomes larger and oppresses to the lower limbs, affecting blood circulation and causing edema.

Diagnosis

Differential diagnosis

Symptoms of menstrual period (pms) are unique to menstruation and therefore often need to be differentiated from other diseases, especially with mental illness. First of all, we must pay attention to the characteristics of the symptoms, such as the periodicity of neglected symptoms and the appearance of premenstrual period, pms is easy to be confused with the usual mental anxiety and depression, the latter in the three stages of the menstrual cycle (The follicular phase, ovulation phase and luteal phase) have the same symptoms and lack of regularity in severity. Secondly, it is characterized by the presence or absence of symptoms in the follicular phase and the chronic disease that is periodically aggravated. As often seen, idiopathic and periodic edema, it is an unexplained edema that occurs in women and is characterized by periodicity. Swelling and anxiety episodes mark an imbalance of water and electrolyte balance (increased aldosterone secretion). The basis for identification with pms is that it can develop symptoms throughout the menstrual cycle, and the symptoms worsen before menstruation. Excessive diuretics may aggravate the symptoms, and it is advisable to turn to medical treatment. Another example is recurrent major depression, which is difficult to differentiate with pms before it is exacerbated by menstruation. Therefore, patients with mental disorders who have concurrently with pms should first be diagnosed by psychiatrists, and then treated according to pms after excluding mental illness.
