Premenstrual Syndrome |
Back |
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a combination of physical and psychological symptoms that occur premenstrually -- a few to several days prior to menstruation. Forty percent of women are affected by this. The cause for this syndrome is a combination of various female hormonal disturbances. Common premenstrual symptoms include tension, headaches, depression, anxiety, irritability, bloating, fluid retention, clumsiness, menstrual cramps, premenstrual food cravings, obesity, breast engorgement, and pain. Since these symptoms are so common, these are traditionally regarded as part of "womanhood" and women are expected to learn to live with them. When these symptoms get significantly bothersome, they are treated with indifference, analgesics, tranquilizers, antidepressants, diuretics, and sometimes with surgery, such as a hysterectomy. Recent understanding about the underlying causes has made it possible to correct these disturbances with great success.
Ignoring symptoms or telling women that they have to live with their problems
isn't really the solution. This is how these women got better -- by
