PMS and PMDD symptoms

Premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric disorder include a wide range of symptoms that occur in a cyclical pattern corresponding to a woman’s periods. Some women find that if they chart their symptoms for a few months, they can identify these patterns and predict the course of their cycles.

PMS symptoms

PMS often worsens over time. As symptoms become more prolonged, the symptom-free portion of the cycle shrinks. Some women experience PMS symptoms virtually all month. Fortunately, women with mild to severe PMS can find relief naturally by giving their bodies the support they need to regulate hormonal balance.
