It must impair some aspect of your life for your doctor to\ndiagnose you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Premenstrual\nsyndrome symptoms start four to ten days before menstruation and go away once\nmenstruation begins. The cause of Premenstrual syndrome is unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However\nresearchers believe that it is related to a change in sex hormone and serotonin\nlevels both at the beginning of the menstrual cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Risk_factors_for_Premenstrual_syndrome_include\"><\/span><strong>Risk factors for Premenstrual syndrome include<\/strong>:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Depression&nbsp;or mood swings, such as&nbsp;postpartum depression&nbsp;or&nbsp;bipolar disorder<\/li><li>Domestic violence<\/li><li>Substance abuse<\/li><li>Physical trauma<\/li><li>Emotional trauma<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Associated conditions include<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dysmenorrhea<\/li><li>Major Depressive Disorder<\/li><li>Seasonal Affective Disorder<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Symptoms_of_Premenstrual_syndromei%C2%BB%C2%BF\"><\/span>Symptoms of Premenstrual syndrome\u00ef\u00bb\u00bf<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The symptoms\nof are usually mild or moderate.&nbsp;About 75%&nbsp;of women report one or more\nthan one symptom that does not substantially affect daily functioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twenty to thirty\ntwo percent of women report moderate to severe symptoms that affect some aspect\nof life.

Your doctor must also rule out other causes, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Anemia<\/li><li>Thyroid Disease<\/li><li>Irritable Bowel   Syndrome&nbsp;(Ibs)<\/li><li>Chronic Fatigue Syndrome<\/li><li>Connective Tissue <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your\ndoctor may ask about history of depression or mood disorders in your family to\ndetermine whether your symptoms are the result of premenstrual syndrome or any another\ncondition. Some conditions, such as IBS and pregnancy, have symptoms similar to\npremenstrual syndrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your\ndoctor may do a thyroid hormone test to ensure that your thyroid gland is\nworking properly, a pregnancy test, and possibly a&nbsp;pelvic exam&nbsp;to\ncheck for any gynecological problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping\na diary of your symptoms is another way to determine if you have premenstrual\nsyndrome. Use a calendar for track of your symptoms and menstruation in each\nand every month. If your symptoms start around the same time each month,\npremenstrual syndrome is a likely cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Easing_symptoms_of_premenstrual_syndrome\"><\/span>Easing symptoms of premenstrual syndrome<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\ncannot cure premenstrual syndrome, but you can take few steps to overcome your\nsymptoms.
