Study, 2004

# Which adolescents have the most serious premenstrual symptoms?

The study found two different patterns of symptoms. Adolescents with anxiety and anger had more severe symptoms and more school absences, while those with fatigue had less impact on their lives.

 Early or limited evidence

Adolescents in Istanbul, Turkey

## What they did

In 2000, researchers in Istanbul classified adolescents into two groups based on premenstrual symptoms using two different classification systems. They looked at which symptoms each group experienced and how much they disrupted daily activities.

## What they found

Group 1, with marked anxiety and persistent anger, had more frequent doctor visits for PMS and more school absences. Group 1 also had more severe symptoms overall and more symptom types than Group 2, which mainly experienced lethargy and fatigue.

## What it means for you

Different symptom patterns might help doctors identify adolescents who need treatment. The study was done in one city using adult classification criteria, so larger studies in different places would confirm whether these patterns apply more widely.
