			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float: left;margin: 0 10px 10px 0" title="iStock_000009024892XSmall" src="http://www.birthcontrolbuzz.com/blog/files/2011/07/iStock_000009024892XSmall-300x240.jpg" alt="Girl experiencing PMS symptoms" width="300" height="240" />A study led by the University of Massachusetts followed more than 3,000 women in the discovery of reducing symptoms of PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome). The study showed that women who ate diets rich in thiamine (B1) and riboflavin (B2) had reduced their risk of PMS.</p>
<p>PMS is a combination of physical, emotional, psychological, and mood disturbances which occurs after a woman ovulates.  About 80% of women experience PMS with average symptoms. Symptoms of PMS include mood swings, crying, irritability, depression, and over sensitivity. Physical changes are bloating, acne, fatigue, and a shift in food cravings.</p>
<p>The study indicated that the vitamin B supplement should come from a food source and not just vitamin pills in order to reduce risk of PMS. Women who had the greatest intake of vitamin B had reduced their risk of PMS by 35% compared to women with the least intake of vitamin B. Thiamine and riboflavin may link to the brains neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin which are connected to PMS.</p>
<p>Thiamine can be found in fortified cereals, beans, whole grains, and nuts. A source of riboflavin is available in milk, meat, eggs, and green vegetables. 2-3 servings of each should be taken each day, starting a week before a menstrual cycle.</p>
<p>Other treatments for PMS include exercise, drinking plenty of water, emotional support, and reduction of intake of salt, caffeine, and sodium. Avoid fast foods and processed foods and try to consume more fruits and vegetables. Birth controls such as <a href="http://www.birthcontrolbuzz.com/product.aspx?DrugName=YAZ+Birth+Control+28+day">Yaz</a> may also reduce symptoms of PMS. Also, intake of calcium or magnesium supplements can naturally reduce water weight. Consult your doctor first before trying any vitamin supplements.

With birth control, the side effects usually go away after 3 months of use, so as long as you can trek through the rough patch, you will reap the benefits of birth control.</p>
<p><strong>Headaches</strong>, <strong>dizziness</strong>, and <strong>breast tenderness</strong> are common side effects for women taking hormonal birth control. The best way to handle these symptoms is to take a couple of Advil, lie down, and drink a glass of water if the symptoms become unbearable.<br />
<strong>Nausea</strong> is a possible side effect of birth control. This symptom usually goes away after a couple months of use.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.birthcontrolbuzz.com/birthControlQA.aspx#Pill6">Spotting</a></strong> is when you have breakthrough bleeding between periods that is usually very light. The trouble with spotting is that is is unpredictable. Try taking the pill at the same time everyday in order to prevent spotting. For those who have spotting while using a <a href="http://www.birthcontrolbuzz.com/product.aspx?Drugname=Nuvaring">ring</a> or <a href="http://www.birthcontrolbuzz.com/product.aspx?Drugname=Mirena+IUD+Device">IUD</a>, try a different <a href="http://www.birthcontrolbuzz.com/BirthControlTypesComparisonChart.aspx">method of birth control</a>. The spotting will stop when your body becomes used to the changes.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><strong>Mood swings</strong> are the utmost common side effects of using birth control. Because your body is taking in more female hormones, you may find yourself in a constant emotional state. For many women, this symptom is prominent in the first few months of taking birth control. After three months it becomes less noticeable.</p>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>If you are experiencing extreme side effects, try switching methods or pills. Remember that almost all side effects will die away after several months of using birth control.</div>
