premenstrual syndrome information

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a collection of physical, psychological, and emotional symptoms that appear in the two weeks before a woman’s menstrual period. The symptoms of PMS can include depression, irritability, mood swings, food cravings, weight gain, bloating, cramping, and acne. According to the National Women’s Health Information Center at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as many as 75 percent of menstruating women have some PMS symptoms. The exact cause of PMS is unknown. Some studies have suggested that PMS is caused by an exaggerated physical response to the normal hormonal changes that occur just before menstruation. Other studies suggest that the women most severely affected by PMS are low in a chemical called serotonin. Serotonin is a chemical that controls many brain and central nervous system functions. Another theory suggests that a deficiency of magnesium and calcium in the diet can cause symptoms of PMS.
