why do women get cravings when they're menstrual?

it has to do with hormones fluctuating and the body craves different nutriets to suplement. This is in most womens cases for a lot of younger women they see older women get away with and use it as an excuse.

It is common to have sore breasts around the beginning of your period, or menstruation. A week or so before your period starts, the body begins producing lots of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone.\n\nThese hormones can cause feelings that together are called premenstrual syndrome, or PMS. Some girls have painful cramps in their stomachs, headaches, mood swings, or cravings for certain foods right before their periods begin. During this time the body may retain water, which can make a girl feel puffy and bloated. Rings and shoes may feel tight at this time.\n\nJust as fingers and feet swell, so can breasts. All that fluid forces the breast tissues to expand, which stretches the nerves and makes breasts feel achy or tender.\n\nWhat Can I Do to Relieve the Ache?\nMost PMS symptoms, including breast soreness, should disappear as your period begins. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen might be helpful. Wearing a supportive bra might also help.\n\n \nI really hope this helps you.  I use to have breast soreness so bad that I used ice to relieve the pain.  Make sure you do regular check ups on your breasts to make sure there are no lumps.\nGod Bless.

absolutely, in fact this is proven to be true. there was some study regarding migraine suffers and after they went through all their symptoms and threw up many of them reported craving certain things like high protein and fat meals. they reported that after having that they felt better.  i think this is also true about pregnant women.  i think the egg thing with you is your body is craving proteins, i love eggs myself...put a little horseradish sauce (not pure horseradish) on it and eat it just like that, its spicy and good for you.  so go boil a dozen eggs and enjoy!

Think of your body as a machine, that needs certain fuel to function. If you are denying it the right fuels, your blood sugar levels drop dramatically, and this is where `sweet cravings' come from. Eating a good breakfast (with some form of protein eg egg or yogurt/ milk =these are protein) will set you off in the right direction. Same with lunch; bread is just carbohydrate . . . you must have some protein like fish or chicken or [steak sandwhich] to keep the engine running!! Taking a good mulitvitamin/mineral supplement also helps. Vitamin C can never be overlooked!\nGood luck!

Actually, your period is precipitated by a steep DROP in hormone levels that induces shedding of the lining of the uterus. Hormone levels peak just around ovulation (i.e., mid-cycle), and only remain high if fertilization occurs (if there is a pregnancy). In a normal cycle, where there is no fertilization, hormone levels drop steeply and this causes menstruation.

Some people do have a craving such as this with little effect. You must have several blood sugar levels done to rule out diabetes. Glucose tolerance test. \n\nIf you don't have this problem, then not a big deal. Unless there are an adverse effects on you in some way to your health. I hope you are getting the other nutrition as you should to balance some of this.

post menstrual strain, or pre menstrual strain, it is to do with hormones released before a woman starts her periods and can lead to the person being slightly less patient and possibly more stressed and just generally alot more easily agitated

One word, hormones.  They come during periods, before periods, during pregnancy, menopause, after a birth of a child...always.  It is part of the joy, and curse, of a woman!  ;)

because they put as small amount of hormones into your body to make the body think it's pregnant thus stopping the womb from emptying itself and you having a period

Well, I'm no doctor or anything close to one but, I do know why we get hot when it's that time of the month. It has to do with hormones. I have dysmenorhia (complicated and extremely painful periods my insides get inflamed when I start. Having dysmenorhia, sometimes I start early sometimes late sometimes on time. My GYN even has to prescribe me pain pills.) Alot of women don't know this but alot of your cramps before or during your cycle is caused by ovulation. My GYN told me the more eggs you kick out during ovulation the more the pain.

it is due to an increase in hormone release that happens during periods
