About Premenstrual Syndrome

Premenstrual syndrome refers to a combination of symptoms that most women get about a week or two prior to their period. Most women, approximately 90%, mention that they get premenstrual symptoms including bloating, headaches and changes in mood. On average, women in their 30s are the most ones that are likely to have PMS.

Etiology of Premenstrual Syndrome

Researchers do not know with certainty what the cause of premenstrual syndrome is. As much as three in four women say they get premenstrual syndrome symptoms at some point in their life. Less than 5% of women of childbearing age get a much more severe form of premenstrual syndrome, known as premenstrual dysphoric disorder or PMDD.

Science suggests a few theories including:

• Cyclical Changes in Hormones – Many of the experts believe that premenstrual syndrome occurs due to changing levels in the hormones’ estrogen and progesterone. The levels of these hormone change depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle.
• Chemical Changes in the Brain — the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and serotonin play major roles in mood regulation, behavior and emotions. A drop in estrogen can signal the release of norepinephrine, leading to lower production of dopamine, acetylcholine and serotonin.
• Current Mental Conditions – Women living with a mental health condition like anxiety and depression can increase the chances of developing premenstrual syndrome or dysphoric disorder. A strong family history of PMS, bipolar disorder, depression including postpartum depression can also increase the possibility of developing it.
