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.
Typical Symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
- Symptoms improve after period
- Discomfort or unpleasant symptoms occur when the period is about to start
- Breasts feel stretched, tight or full
- Repeated abdominal pain with no known cause
- Headache
- Symptoms occur 1 to 2 weeks before periods
- Easily irritable
- Mood swings
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 any discomfort or unpleasant feelings before or during your period?
- Do your breasts feel stretched or tight?
- Have you had repeated abdominal pain with no known cause?
- Do you have headaches or a heavy feeling in your head?
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.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
