Ah… PMS! How can we even begin to explain the misery of menstruation without mentioning the seven days in hell aka PMS? In women of reproductive age (yes, that’s you missy!) premenstrual syndrome sets in one to two weeks before the dreaded bleeding and leaves behind emotional wreckage and a bloated belly in its wake. Hell, PMS has become synonymous with extreme mood swings—and is often used as a shield in the war against patriarchy by the defending side.

Keeping the crash course on feminism aside, there are a plethora of PMS symptoms that have nothing to do with being cranky or looking like a puffed-up balloon. In fact, given how far away the locales are of some of these symptoms from your vagina—at times it can get really difficult to relate the two. This basically begs the question: is it PMS or something else? Let’s find out:

01

Intense headaches that make your head spin right round, round round

02

Sleepless nights because who needs slumber right?

03

Explosive vomiting that makes you want to never leave your bed again

04

Dum laga ke… because you’re all blocked up and constipation is a real b*tch

05

Insatiable hunger for sex…

06

Ouch! Sore breasts that are too painful to touch
