Causes and Risk Factors of PMS:
Here’s what you should know:
Premenstrual Syndrome is mainly linked to hormonal fluctuations in oestrogen and progesterone levels that occur during the menstrual cycle. These changes can influence mood, energy, and physical well-being, leading to symptoms such as irritability, bloating, and fatigue.
Certain factors can increase the risk or intensity of PMS symptoms, including high stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, and sleep disturbances. Women with a family history of depression or anxiety may also experience more severe PMS symptoms.
Symptoms and Warning Signs of PMS
Here’s what you should know:
- Mood changes: Irritability, anxiety, or sudden mood swings that affect daily interactions.
- Physical discomfort: Bloating, breast tenderness, headaches, or body aches before menstruation.
- Sleep disturbances: Difficulty falling or staying asleep, often linked to hormonal changes.
- Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired or low on energy despite sufficient rest.
- Cravings and appetite changes: Increased desire for sugary or salty foods.
- Concentration issues: Difficulty focusing or staying attentive at work or home.
If you notice any of these symptoms, you must seek a doctor’s advice at once.
Diagnosis and Evaluation of PMS:
Here’s what you should know:
- Detailed medical history: Discussion of menstrual patterns, emotional changes, and physical symptoms over several cycles.
- Symptom tracking: Patients may be asked to record daily symptoms for two to three months to identify patterns.
- Physical examination: A pelvic exam may be performed to rule out other gynaecological issues.
- Hormonal assessment: Blood tests to check thyroid function and reproductive hormone levels if needed.
- Psychological evaluation: In cases of severe emotional distress, assessment for premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) may be recommended.

- Lifestyle Modifications: Gentle, sustainable changes such as regular exercise, balanced meals, and good sleep hygiene help stabilise mood and reduce bloating, fatigue, and irritability.
- Nutritional Support: Supplements like calcium, magnesium, vitamin B6, and omega-3 fatty acids can ease cramps, mood swings, and food cravings while supporting hormonal health.
- Medical Management: For more severe symptoms, our gynaecologists may recommend hormonal therapies, oral contraceptives, or mild antidepressants to regulate hormone levels and improve mood stability.
- Emotional and Stress Management: Techniques such as yoga, meditation, and cognitive counselling help manage anxiety and promote emotional calmness before periods.
