# What treatments help premenstrual syndrome?

Research has examined four main treatments: antidepressants, hormone therapy, lifestyle changes, and herbal remedies. The review noted that many women are not diagnosed or treated.

 Early or limited evidence

This was a literature review and did not directly study a specific group of women.

## What they did

The author reviewed scientific literature assessing the effectiveness of treatments for premenstrual syndrome, including antidepressants, hormone therapy, lifestyle changes, and herbal therapy.

## What they found

Four treatment types have been studied for PMS: antidepressants, hormone therapy, lifestyle modification, and herbal therapy. The review emphasized that many women are undiagnosed even though symptoms significantly disrupt their daily lives.

## What it means for you

Multiple treatment options exist for PMS, but the review highlighted a major gap: many women are not getting diagnosed or treated despite serious impact on their lives and relationships.
