A member asked:

I'm 31 f. a week before my period i always get irritable and angry like every little thing can irritate me, urge to throw stuff, even depression only a week before my period and a few days after my period... normal hormones?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I've always attributed premenstrual tension to hormonal changes causing fluid retention which affects the brain resulting in personality changes. When this becomes very problematic, I prescribed a daily low dose diuretic for a week before the expected period with very good results. Be sure to eat potassium rich foods during the diuretic week. Your gynecologist may not agree with this treatment.
