# What is Japan's obstetrics and gynecology society doing about PMS and PMDD awareness?

This report describes committee activities for the 2025 fiscal year, including work on raising awareness of PMS and PMDD, but it does not present new research results or test any treatment.

 Early or limited evidence

Not a study of patients; this is a report on a women's health committee's work in Japan.

## What they did

A women's health committee in Japan, set up in 2010, reported on its work during fiscal year 2025. Nine subcommittees covered topics such as menopause and work, pelvic floor problems after childbirth, cancer and sex education for teenagers, long-term care for Turner syndrome, period problems, and PMS/PMDD awareness, plus supplements, telemedicine, and nutrition.

## What they found

The committee covered a wide range of topics across women's health, from the teenage years through menopause and older age. Awareness of PMS and PMDD was one of nine subcommittee topics, alongside menopausal disorders, pelvic floor problems, cancer and sex education, Turner syndrome care, period problems, supplements, telemedicine, and nutrition. The report also discussed broader issues in healthcare systems and education for women's health.

## What it means for you

This is a summary of committee activities and discussion topics, not a study of a treatment or group of patients. It does not tell us whether any treatment works for PMS or PMDD, only that awareness of these conditions was one of the areas the committee focused on this year.
