PMS & PMDD

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) are conditions that affect many women during their menstrual cycle. PMS is characterized by a range of physical and emotional symptoms that occur in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, while PMDD is a more severe form that can significantly disrupt daily life and emotional well-being.

How PMS and PMDD Affect Health​​​
Both PMS and PMDD can lead to debilitating symptoms, including mood swings, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and physical discomfort. These conditions can impact relationships, work, and overall quality of life, making effective management essential for those affected.
