Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is the cyclic recurrence of symptoms that peak 7 to 10 days before menstruation and disappear a few hours after menstrual flow begins. Symptoms include breast tenderness, transient weight gain, bloating, constipation, insomnia, acne, headache, pelvic pain, irritability, depression, mood swings, poor concentration, and appetite changes.
PMS is due to unbalanced hormonal fluctuations. A mixture of correct diet, adequate exercise, stress management and Chinese medicine including acupuncture can be an effective approach.
