Whenever I am about to get my period, I start getting the feeling of knives in my stomach and I always throw up... Why?

Dysmenorrhea seems to be a condition where nausea and vomiting is accompanied by headaches, cramps, and abdominal pain. this could be a cause .
It is thought that the production of prostaglandins during the menstrual cycle can cause the walls of the uterus to contract and causing both cramping and nausea.
>There could be a more serious reason for this nausea that being a condition known as endometriosis. this is other cause .
This occurs when the cells (endometrium) that make up the lining of the uterus grow outside of the uterus. These cells grow in large number and line both the abdominal and uterine cavities.
During the woman’s menstrual cycle these cells are influenced by the hormone production and imbalance. Endometriosis can cause nausea, bloating, diarrhea, rectal pain, and abdominal cramping.
Perhaps the most common symptom of endometriosis is not the nausea but debilitating pain.
> A Vitamin B deficiency and/or sugar imbalance can also be the cause of nausea before, during or after a woman’s menstrual cycle.
>Menstrual period stages and nausea :
-Premenstrual Stage , two to three weeks prior to period and nausea can be strong at this point.
-Stage 1 , Follicular stage has high estrogen levels.
-Stage 2 , Luteal stage includes ovulating and has a strong nausea component.
-Period ,This is when a woman sheds the uterine lining along with blood and water. Nausea has normally stopped by this time.
-Post Menstrual Stage , After the period is over and there is very little nausea during this time.
>The cramping that usually accompanies the menstrual period is the primary cause of this upset stomach and it can occur before, during or after a woman’s period.
However, this nausea could also be caused by excess stomach acid that comes from the changes and imbalance in hormones during the menstrual cycle.
There are two other possible causes of nausea in the menstrual cycle include MIGRAINE headaches and premenstrual syndrome(PMS)
>PMS (premenstrual syndrome) happens before a woman’s period and includes all the symptoms we have previously mentioned such as sore breasts, headaches, sugar cravings, bloating, stress, anxiety, acne, back and thigh pain, diarrhea, fatigue and constipation.
>>PMS is due to the production of estrogen and progesterone in the early stages of the menstrual cycle prior to period bleeding. Nausea is a common symptom of PMS. It is also very common for women to feel nausea at the point in their menstrual cycle when they ovulate.
>>The other cause is migraine headaches that can affect some women prior to their period following ovulation. Nausea typically accompanies migraines regardless of the cause of the headache. In this case the headaches are caused by the hormonal imbalance and they can be completely debilitating along with the nausea.
Migraine headaches during the menstrual cycle are considered an “episodic neurological disorder”. In addition to the debilitating head pain, the woman also suffers any one of many different symptoms including nausea, dizziness, sensitivity to light and sound, cognitive difficulties, and a numbness or tingling.
Depending in the cause of the nausea there would be different ways to reduce or get rid of it.
If the nausea is caused by pain then alleviating the pain should cure the nausea. Some simple ways to deal with the pain and thus stop the nausea would include over the counter medications such as NSAIDs (Non- Steroidal Anti- Inflammatory Drugs) or panadol.
In the case of endometriosis or severe pain a prescription analgesic may be necessary.
So if these are parts of your menestrual period every month and otherwise you are healthy then no problem it is only hormonal cause due to period in some women might be the cause ,or it might be complaining of PMS if more severe case it is advised that you check with your gynecologist to see if there are other causes mentioned above .
