\"\"<\/a>Premenstrual syndrome<\/b><\/p>

Premenstrual syndrome is defined as recurrent psychological and physical symptoms that occur during the luteal phase of menses and resolve with menstruation. It affects 20-30% of premenopausal women<\/b>. <\/p>

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder<\/b><\/p>

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder includes affective or somatic symptoms that cause severe dysfunction in social or occupational activity. It affects 3-8% of premenopausal women<\/b>. <\/p>

Proposed etiologies<\/b> (causative factors) include:<\/p>

- increased sensitivity to normal cycling levels of estrogen and progesterone
- increased aldosterone and plasma renin activity
- neurotransmitter abnormalities, particularly serotonin<\/p>

The Daily Record of Severity of Problems is one tool with which women may self-report premenstrual symptoms.<\/p>

Symptom relief<\/b> is the goal, and there is limited evidence for the use of:<\/p>

- calcium
- vitamin D
- vitamin B6 supplementation<\/p>

Serotonergic antidepressants (SSRIs)<\/b> (citalopram, escitalopram, fluoxetine, sertraline, venlafaxine) are first-line pharmacologic therapy.<\/p>
