Cyclic disorder: It is a contellation of symptoms that women experience during the 2 weeks prior to the onset of the period. It usually involves pain, bloating, moodiness/irritability, anger, swelling, headaches, bloating. It is due to the abrupt decline in Progesterone that occurs before menstruation begins. It can be helped with Progesterone supplementation, sometimes other medications, or ocps.
