Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) refers to a group of physical and emotional symptoms that many women experience in the one to two weeks leading up to their menstrual period due to hormonal changes. These symptoms can range from mild to severe and can impact a woman’s daily life. The most common physical symptoms of PMS include breast tenderness, bloating, headaches, and cramps. Emotional symptoms may include irritability, mood swings, anxiety, depression, and difficulty concentrating.
While PMS is a very common experience, the severity of symptoms can vary greatly from one woman to another. For some, the symptoms are mild and manageable, while for others, the symptoms can be severe and disruptive to daily life. In these cases, a more severe form of PMS called premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) may be diagnosed.
