What is Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)?

PMS refers to physical or mood changes that occur shortly before menstruation and typically resolve a few days after. PMS symptoms generally recur with each menstrual cycle and can negatively affect the women's normal life. PMS consists of both mental and physical symptoms, occurring 3-10 days before menstruation. Symptoms start to improve once menstruation begins. The cause of PMS is poorly understood, but is related to fluctuations in levels of female hormones. PMS can worsen underlying mood disorders such as anxiety and depression.

Diagnostic Questions for Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Do your PMS symptoms improve once your period starts?
  • Do you have premenstrual symptoms such as discomfort and irritability?
  • Do you feel unwell 1-2 weeks before your period?
  • Do your breasts feel stretched or tight?
  • Do you have frequent stomach or abdominal pain with unknown causes?

Treatment of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)

Treatment of PMS mostly involves lifestyle changes like regular sleep cycles and a balanced diet. Medications can also help with muscle aches and stomach cramps. Counseling may be helpful in coping with the stress of this disorder. Hormonal birth control can be used to suppress the menstrual cycle or reduce it. For patients with severe symptoms that affect their work and personal life, medications such as antidepressants (SSRI's) can be used.
