Has a lot to do with hormone levels. The hormone levels fluxuate and create headaches, cramps, crabbiness.\n\nPlus, bleeding is not necessarily a good feeling.\n\nIt also has to do with society conditioning women into thinking that Periods are bad or "gross" when they are completely natural.

It is also common to have sore breasts around the beginning of a girl's period, or menstruation. A week or so before her period starts, the body begins producing lots of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. \n\nThese hormones can cause feelings that together are called premenstrual syndrome, or PMS. Some girls have painful cramps in their stomachs, headaches, mood swings, or cravings for certain foods right before their periods begin. During this time the body may retain water, which can make a girl feel puffy and bloated. Rings and shoes may feel tight at this time. \n\nJust as fingers and feet swell, so can breasts. All that fluid forces the breast tissues to expand, which stretches the nerves and makes breasts feel achy or tender. \n\nhttp://kidshealth.org/teen/sexual_health/girls/sore_breasts.html

I don't, but it you do it's probably just because you tend to retain more water when you are on your period.

You are retaining water. I usually retain about 12 pounds of water during that time. It helps if you cut back on your sodium intake and drink more water. There is midol for water retention. I believe it is called midol PMS. You might also talk to your doctor and ask about getting some water pills.

I get headaches at that time and especially if I drink alcohol. It's because alcohol can dehydrate you. It also makes me drunk faster too.When you have your period you get dehydrated anyway. You are losing fluids. You need to drink extra water and stay away from the liquor.

Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen might be helpful. Wearing a supportive bra might also help.\n\n \nI really hope this helps you.  I use to have breast soreness so bad that I used ice to relieve the pain.  Make sure you do regular check ups on your breasts to make sure there are no lumps.\nGod Bless.

salt helps maintain water in the body

woman weren't built to have periods every month and it does not harm them to go without them... my girlfriend is allergic to seasonal so she takes Yasmin continuously and cannot have periods due to the pain and other symptoms of endometriosis... it is perfectly fine for her and actually has benefits like not losing iron and can reduce risks of some cancer, anyways as for the swallowing pills thing, she can try putting it in peanut butter or something crunchy that she doesnt mind swallowing, or what I do is moisten the pill in my mouth and then dry swallow it and then drink a lot of water but if I try to take it normally i freak out, also with the pills try to avoid pills with gel caps because they can have side effects (heartburn), esp for people who dont take pills well

I couldn't say what your causes are, but it happens to me when I am anemic and/or have low blood sugar.  It wouldn't hurt for you to be sure to eat regularly and take an iron supplement (especially if you are a menstruating female).  Geritol Tonic is what I drink (one sip a day).

No, your period will flucuate, from month to month from year to year, it will change often, sometimes more days sometimes less other times heavy other times light,it can sometimes be painfull and ither times it wont, sometimes it will smell foul, and at times it may not.Over time you will come to pin point what kind of period you will have .I always hated mine ,I mean always!  Up until I started menoupause. Now I wish i still had them!! What a life us woman have.But I still am glad Im one!!!

The amount of salt that we eat has a direct effect on our blood pressure. The more salt we eat, the higher our blood pressure. This is true, not only in people with high blood pressure, but also in people with normal blood pressure. A high salt intake also causes other health damage such as greater retention of water in your body, which leads to swelling of the ankles. Too much salt also worsens thinning of the bones (osteoporosis), asthma and kidney disease and is closely related to cancer of the stomach. Therefore, everyone should cut the amount of salt they eat.\n\nThe Department of Health and Food Standards Agency recommend that everyone should cut their salt intake from the current amount of 10 to 12 grams of salt a day to 5 to 6 grams a day, or less. If you can reduce salt intake more, this will lower your blood pressure further

Not sure there is a way but whenever I have went on a strict diet it seems to have that effect on my period. It may not effect everybody like that.
