Menstrual cycles vary throughout an individual’s life and are accompanied by other systemic symptoms, including:
 

• Pain in the abdomen or lower back

• Fatigue

• Food cravings, weight gain and bloating

• Mood swings and irritability

• Headache

• Sore breasts

Individuals can also experience irregular bleeding, spotting, or heavy bleeding with or without clots. Menstrual symptoms are often tolerable, but they may also become problematic and start to affect quality of life. You can talk to your provider about what is normal, what to worry about, and how to manage these symptoms.
