Premenstrual Syndrome – Causes, Symptoms & Treatments

Abdominal Cramping

During ovulation, your body would send a series of cramps or a twinge of sharp pain to one side of your lower abdominal part. Therefore, women with the premenstrual syndrome tend to feel this sensation on the affected side. This indicates that the egg has been already matured and is being released by their ovary. Abdominal cramps often occur a couple of days before the beginning of a period. They would last for many days. Some home remedies like massaging, gentle exercises, or essential oils can help with the symptom. [7]
