Physical symptoms associated with the menstrual cycle include bloating, lower back pain, abdominal cramps, constipation/diarrhea, swelling or tenderness in the breasts, cyclic acne, and joint or muscle pain, and food cravings. The exact symptoms and their intensity vary significantly from woman to woman, and even somewhat from cycle to cycle and over time. Most women with premenstrual syndrome experience only a few of the possible symptoms, in a relatively predictable pattern.
Menstrual psychosis typically occurs during the premenstion or menstruation. Menstrual psychosis symptoms can include confusion or hallucinations, mutism and stupor, delusions, or manic state.
