Premenstrual Syndrome

Did you know that more than 1 in 3 women suffer from PMS?

Did you know that 1 in 20 women suffer so severely that their lives are
seriously affected?

What is Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)?

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is now widely recognized as a medical
condition that affects some women of childbearing age. Premenstrual Syndrome is
related to menstrual hormones and can present itself with physical and
psychological symptoms.

There are over 150 symptoms associated with PMS and the number and type
of symptoms suffered varies from person to person. The severity of the
symptoms can also vary each month. Among the most commonly experienced
are:

bloating
headaches
irritability
weight gain
skin problems
mood swings &/or depression
aggression
fatigue
breast tenderness
poor concentration
tearfulness
feelings of being misunderstood

Others include tension, anger, anxiety, panic attacks, mental confusion,
sinus problems, asthma, epilepsy, styes, acne, alcohol abuse, craving
for sweet things, binge eating and backache.

No woman experiences all of these symptoms and the most important factor
is their timing.

If symptoms are present throughout the cycle, PMS is unlikely.

There are no laboratory tests that make identification of PMS simple.

The presence of symptoms before, and their absence after menstruation helps
make diagnosis easier.

First Steps of Management

In general, the best treatment for women with PMS is a sympathetic
OB-Gyn or Family Physician who will listen patiently as she descibes her
symptoms.

Reassurances from the physician that she is not not the only suffering
from these symptoms, that PMS is an entirely normal phenomenon, and that each
episode is finite and will be resolved by menstruation can be very
reassuring and beneficial.

Most all women who suffer from PMS will benefit from making simple
dietary changes, exercise more, relax more, and avoiding stress and emotional
conflicts. The symptoms may disappear or significantly improve either on
the first day of your period or after the day when the menstrual flow is
heaviest. You should then be symptom-free for a few days, although it
could be as few as three days if you have a very short menstrual cycle. If
you experience symptoms during these few days, it is unlikely that you are
suffering from PMS and you should visit your doctor so that a cause can
be found and the appropriate treatment given.
