Pre-menstrual syn*drome (known as PMS) involves a variety of physical, mental, and behavioral symptoms tied to a woman’s menstrual cycle. By definition, symptoms occur during the days before a woman's period starts. They usually go away after the first day or two of flow.
PMS is a complex health concern. Up to 80% of women experience some symptoms of PMS. Scientists cannot agree on its cause or the best way to treat PMS.
- PMS usually occurs in women in their fourth and fifth decades of life (aged 30-49 years). For a small number of women, it can be severely incapacitating. A woman who has had a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) may still experience PMS if at least one ovary remains.
- Because many different processes may contribute to PMS, methods of treatment vary widely and can include medical and alternative approaches. Surgery is a last resort.
- As many as 3-8% of women may have a more severe condition called pre*menstrual dys*phoric dis*order (PMDD). PMS and PMDD are not the same. Women with PMDD become seriously depressed for a week or more before their periods. PMS is shorter, usually milder, and involves more physical symptoms. The two may occur together, or a woman may have one and not the other.
The most common symptoms include: - Headache
- Swelling of ankles, feet, and hands
- Backache
- Abdominal cramps or heaviness
- Abdominal pain
- Abdominal fullness, feeling gaseous
- Muscle spasms
- Breast tenderness
- Weight gain
- Recurrent cold sores
- Acne flare-ups
- Nausea
- Bloating
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Decreased coordination
- Food cravings
- Less tolerance for noises and lights
- Painful menstruation
Other symptoms include:
- Anxiety or panic
- Confusion
- Difficulty concentrating
- Forgetfulness
- Poor judgment
- Depression
- Irritability, hostility, or aggressive behavior
- Increased guilt feelings
- Fatigue
- Slow, sluggish, lethargic movement
- Decreased self-image
- Sex drive changes, loss of sex drive
- Paranoia or increased fears
- Low self-esteem
