Area of Science:

  • Gynecology and Reproductive Health
  • Psychiatry and Mental Health

Background:

  • Premenstrual symptoms significantly impact women's quality of life.
  • Accurate diagnosis of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the prevalence of prominent premenstrual symptoms in Dutch women.
  • To validate a simple 'top-ten' symptom-based method for diagnosing PMS.

Main Methods:

  • Calculated prevalence of the ten most prominent premenstrual symptoms in 2020 Dutch women.
  • Diagnosed PMS using a 'top-ten' symptom score increase (≥2 points on VAS) from day 12-26 over two cycles.
  • Confirmed diagnosis with a 'gold standard' criterion (≥30% complaint increase from follicular to luteal phase).

Main Results:

  • The 'top-ten' method effectively identified women with significant premenstrual symptom changes.
  • This approach successfully excluded women without premenstrual complaints.
  • Diagnosis via the 'top-ten' method aligned well with the 'gold standard' criterion.

Conclusions:

  • The 'top-ten' symptom-based method is a simple and valid tool for detecting significant premenstrual changes.
  • This method aids in accurately diagnosing premenstrual syndrome.
  • It offers a practical approach for clinical screening and research.
