Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is uncommon in young girls but increases with age, affecting up to 40% of older women. Current treatments lack confirmed efficacy, with non-pharmacological approaches recommended for adolescents.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Adolescent Medicine
  • Women's Health

Background:

  • Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a common condition, yet its exact causes and biological mechanisms remain unclear.
  • While PMS prevalence is low in adolescents, it significantly increases with age, affecting up to 40% of older women.
  • Existing treatments for PMS have not demonstrated consistent benefits in rigorous scientific studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the current understanding of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in adolescents and older women.
  • To review the efficacy of various PMS management strategies.
  • To provide evidence-based recommendations for adolescent PMS management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on PMS prevalence, etiology, and treatment.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of randomized double-blind crossover studies evaluating PMS interventions.
  • Synthesis of findings to inform clinical recommendations.

    • Main Results:

    • Clinically significant PMS is infrequent in young girls and adolescents.
    • PMS prevalence rises with age, reported in up to 40% of older women.
    • Randomized controlled trials have not confirmed the effectiveness of specific PMS treatment regimens.

    Conclusions:

    • The etiology and pathophysiology of PMS are not yet fully understood.
    • For adolescents experiencing PMS, reassurance and lifestyle modifications (diet, exercise) are recommended over medication.
    • Further research is needed to identify effective and targeted treatments for PMS.
