Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) can present a variety of symptoms that affect both the body and mind. Physical symptoms may include bloating, breast tenderness, headaches, fatigue, and cramps. Many people also experience mood-related changes like irritability, anxiety, mood swings, and difficulty concentrating. Sleep disturbances, food cravings, and increased sensitivity to stress are also common. These symptoms usually occur in the days leading up to menstruation and improve once the period begins. While PMS can vary in severity, if symptoms are significantly affecting daily life, it might be worth exploring treatment options.
There are multiple medical and non-medical options to improve the symptoms associated with PMS. These include lifestyle modifications or utilizing pharmacologic agents. We often utilize bio-identical hormones to alleviate this distressing problem.
