Síndrome premenstrual - Prevention

Nombres alternativos

SPM

Prevención:

Algunos de los cambios en el estilo de vida recomendados a menudo para el tratamiento del síndrome premenstrual pueden ayudar a prevenir los síntomas o impedir su empeoramiento.

Asimismo, se puede comprobar el beneficio que ofrecen la práctica del ejercicio regular y una dieta bien balanceada (con aumento de granos enteros, verduras, frutas y disminución o suspensión del consumo de sal, azúcar, alcohol y cafeína).

Su cuerpo puede tener diferentes necesidades de sueño en diferentes momentos durante el ciclo menstrual de una mujer, por lo que es importante tener un descanso adecuado.
