What is Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)?

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a collection of physical and emotional symptoms that occur cyclically in relation to the menstrual cycle. Affecting around 20% of women in India and experienced by up to 75% of women globally at some point in their lives, PMS can range from mild to severe, impacting daily life and well-being.

Causes of PMS

The exact cause of PMS remains uncertain, but it is widely believed to stem from hormonal changes that occur throughout the menstrual cycle. Some key contributing factors include:

  • Hormonal Fluctuations: Shifts in estrogen and progesterone levels are believed to trigger PMS symptoms.
  • Neurotransmitter Changes: Variations in serotonin, a brain chemical that regulates mood, can lead to emotional symptoms like mood swings and irritability.
  • Stress: Heightened stress levels can exacerbate PMS symptoms.
  • Genetic Factors: A family history of PMS can increase the likelihood of experiencing these symptoms.

Common Signs and Symptoms of PMS

PMS manifests in a variety of ways, with symptoms that are both physical and emotional:

  • Physical Symptoms: Fatigue, bloating, tender breasts, headaches, increased appetite, and cravings.
  • Emotional Symptoms: Mood swings, irritability, depression, and anxiety.
