Survey study, 2023

# Does drinking caffeine make premenstrual syndrome worse?

Yes, the study found a significant connection between caffeine consumption and PMS. The more caffeine women consumed, the more likely they were to experience PMS (p<0.001).

 Early or limited evidence

87 young women in Tlogomas Village, Malang City, Indonesia (sampled from 657)

## What they did

Researchers surveyed 87 young women in Tlogomas Village, Malang City, Indonesia about their caffeine consumption and PMS symptoms. They used simple random sampling from a population of 657 young women and analyzed the data using a chi-square test.

## What they found

There was a significant link between caffeine consumption and PMS (p<0.001). The study also noted that around 65.7% of adolescent girls experience PMS symptoms, which can range from mild to severe and include both irritability and physical complaints.

## What it means for you

Reducing caffeine intake may help reduce PMS symptoms in some women. However, this is a small study from one village in Indonesia, so findings may not apply widely. The study does not specify how much caffeine is too much or explain which women are most affected. The design (cross-sectional) shows association but does not prove caffeine causes PMS.
