Premenstrual Syndrome, commonly referred to by the initials PMS, is a term used to describe the symptoms a woman may experience in the lead up to her period. Every woman’s PMS symptoms are different and these can vary from month to month. PMS symptoms include headaches, mood swings and changes in sleep patterns. PMS is caused by fluctuating hormone levels at certain points during a woman’s menstrual cycle.
PMS is very common, with most women experiencing premenstrual syndrome at some point in their lives. Often women can deal with PMS symptoms themselves by taking over-the-counter painkillers and practising self-care, such as exercising, eating a healthy diet and doing yoga or pilates to reduce stress. However, for some women, premenstrual syndrome can have a negative impact on their daily lives. If this is the case, then help is available. A doctor may prescribe medication, such as antidepressants or the combined contraceptive pill, or recommend a talking therapy, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
Every woman is different and a treatment that works for one person, may not be suitable for helping another person’s PMS symptoms.
Words from our clients:
"I was extremely satisfied with the care and treatment I received at the Cadogan Clinic. My surgeon was friendly and informative and explained the procedure fully. My procedure went very well and with the excellent care of the nursing staff, I made a speedy and full recovery. Would recommend to anyone."Eva Berry
"At the beginning before the operation the nurse taking care of me made me feel so comfortable. The surgeon and anesthetist helped me feel so calm. Fantastic before and after treatment"Scarlett Elliott
"The girls on the reception at the clinic were very pleasant and professional. The nurse who took out my stitches after my surgery was just lovely and took me through step by step what she was doing and she also recommended a great cream to use to help with healing."Georgina Nolan
“I was treated with care and provided with thorough knowledge about the procedure I was undertaking. My surgeon was very methodical (a perfectionist) and I felt I received A class treatment."Courtney O'Sullivan
"Outstanding experience from the first appointment to being discharged. Very professional, friendly and a fantastic outcome."Gemma Stevenson
"Reception staff very welcoming and efficient. Both nurses who I dealt with were fantastic, and the whole team (anaesthetist, surgeon etc) were friendly but professional, and really put my mind at ease. That I was able to stay later than I perhaps needed after my surgery to fit in with my husbands schedule was greatly appreciated."Emma Davies
There are several different PMS symptoms. You may have experienced one, some or all of the following:
A small number of women may experience more severe PMS symptoms, known as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
PMDD symptoms are more intense than PMS and can have an overwhelmingly negative impact on a woman’s quality of life. PMDD symptoms can include headaches, cramps, joint pain, muscle pain, sleep problems, binge eating, extreme anxiety, depression, anger and sometimes even suicidal thoughts and feelings.
The exact cause of PMS is unknown, but there are several factors that contribute to this condition.
If lifestyle changes or dietary changes are not enough to alleviate your PMS symptoms, then the doctor may suggest one of the following PMS treatments.
Some women may turn to complementary therapies as an alternative PMS treatment. Women who opt for complementary therapies such as acupuncture and reflexology swear by these treatments, although the evidence of their effectiveness is limited.
We have invited a selection of the country's very best consultants to join us at the Cadogan Clinic so that you can be sure that whatever the nature of your treatment, you will be seeing one of the top practitioners in the country.
The Patient Journey. A breakdown of what you can expect on your journey with us
We are deeply invested in ensuring that every step of your surgical journey with us is as informative and reassuring to you as it can be. This article outlines what you can expect at each stage of the journey
The Patient JourneyWhat are the stages of the menstrual cycle?
The menstrual cycle is divided into four stages:
Each stage varies from woman to woman and this can change over time.
How long does PMS last before a period?
You may experience PMS symptoms up to two weeks before your period, although they typically start a week before your period. The symptoms usually stop within a couple of days of your period starting. This can vary from woman to woman.
What can I do at home to reduce PMS symptoms?
There are certain things you can do at home which may help reduce your PMS symptoms as well as maintain overall good health. You should exercise regularly, get plenty of sleep and aim to eat a healthy, balanced diet. You may find that eating frequent smaller meals helps alleviate symptoms like abdominal bloating. Over-the-counter painkillers like paracetamol or ibuprofen can help with any pain.
Does PMS get worse with age?
Unfortunately yes, premenstrual syndrome can get worse with age. This often happens when women reach perimenopause, starting the transition into menopause, in their late 30s to early 40s. It is important to remember that you don’t have to suffer in silence and you should go to a doctor if your symptoms begin to affect your day-to-day life.
Complications are rare although, as with all surgery, possible. Your surgeon will discuss each of these risks comprehensively at your consultation. Read our FAQ section for more information.
