Study, 1978
Do estrogen and progesterone help with premenstrual syndrome?
Estrogens and progestagens are described as having positive effects on PMS. Without research data, we cannot tell how strong these effects are.
What they did
A discussion of how estrogens and progestagens affect various diseases, including the mechanisms of action and modes of treatment.
What they found
Estrogens and progestagens are reported to have positive effects on premenstrual syndrome and other conditions.
What it means for you
This is a theoretical discussion without experimental evidence. We cannot determine whether these effects actually happen in women or how well treatments work.
