What are the different ways to treat PMS?
PMS can be treated with medicines combined with talk therapy, physical therapy, and other treatments. However, some women do not respond to any treatment, so more research is needed.
What they did
Review of research on PMS treatment from multiple medical databases. The author looked at studies on different treatment approaches for PMS and how well they work.
What they found
PMS affects between 25% and 80% of women. It has many mental and physical symptoms. Treatment should combine medicines with talk therapy, physical therapy, and other exercises. Since PMS is different for each woman, treatment should match her specific symptoms. Some women do not respond to any treatment.
What it means for you
Many ways exist to treat PMS, but combining different types of treatment works better than using just one. Treatment must be personalized based on each woman's symptoms. Since some women still do not respond to treatment, doctors need to better understand why PMS happens and how to prevent it.
