　　The discomfort experienced by the body before the menstrual period is not due to unbearable pain, but mostly because women are prone to irritability, listlessness and other symptoms during this period.

　　Try changing the layout of your house! It can change the mood, but it is also a kind of exercise good way. It is said that before the menstrual cycle, a slight change in the position of books on the bookshelf can cause depression.
