Survey study, 2024
What do we know about how PMS develops, its symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment?
This review summarizes current knowledge about what causes PMS, what symptoms appear, how doctors diagnose it, and what treatments work.
What they did
Researchers reviewed scientific and medical literature on PMS from many sources. They analyzed information about how PMS develops, its symptoms, diagnosis methods, and treatment approaches.
What they found
The brain and hormone systems play a role in PMS. Diagnosis can be done in different ways. Treatment depends on the type of PMS and its symptoms. Risk factors include genetics, hormones, stress, food, and lifestyle.
What it means for you
This brings together current understanding of PMS from published research. It shows that diagnosing and treating PMS needs input from multiple medical fields. The main limit is that this is a summary of existing knowledge, not new research findings.
