Abstract :
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a prevalent condition affecting women, characterized by a range of physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms that occur during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. These symptoms can significantly impact daily life, particularly in young women and students.
Aim: to provide a detailed overview of PMS, its prevalence, symptoms, and management strategies.
Method: This is a comprehensive review of PMS manifestation and management. The PUBMED and Google Scholar search engines were the main databases used for the search process, with articles up to 2022. This thorough review ensures that the information presented is reliable and up-to-date.
Conclusion: PMS includes various symptoms that can greatly affect a woman’s life. Emotional symptoms like irritability and depressed mood are key, while cognitive and behavioral aspects also matter. Physical symptoms, though less common, are important for PMS. The diagnosis involves symptom tracking, reviewing medical history, and ruling out other disorders. These steps help healthcare providers to diagnose PMS accurately and customize treatment for individual patients. Effective treatment of PMS requires lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, stress management, and sometimes medication. A holistic approach with compassionate counseling can greatly improve the lives of those affected, ensuring treatment is effective and tailored.
