| description | Background: Th is paper describes women’s
problems in their reproductive period in
which they are confronting the premenstrual
syndrome and also describes various possibilities
of medical treatment or alleviation of
symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.
Conclusions: Premenstrual disorders encompass
the terms of premenstrual syndrome
(PMS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder
(PMDD) and premenstrual exaggeration. By
the notion PMS we address a group of symptoms,
like depression, sadness, disquiety, irritability,
tension, weeping, mood oscilations,
sensitivity and growth of woman’s breasts.
More than 80 % women in reproductive phase
of life have been through the premenstrual
symptoms. However, when physically symptoms
are expressed enough to interrupt normal
social and professional woman’s activity,
we address them as premenstrual dysphoric
disorders. PMS symptoms appear in a period
of luteal phase. PMS can be treated by inhibitors
of prostaglandin synthesis, selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitors and oral contraceptives.
Mild forms of PMS can be also treated
by physical activity, fruit and vegetable diets
and full of grains. Current research supports
treatment with cognitive behavioristic therapy
for improving the mood and reducing
PMS symptoms. |
