Introduction
PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) generally occurs between 7 to 14 days before menstruation (a woman's monthly bleeding aka "period") and then stops once menstruation begins. It is probably the result of changing hormone levels caused by her menstrual cycle and can affect any woman at any time during her reproductive life but, unfortunately, tends to persist until after menopause. PMS may be just a monthly bother to some or it may be so severe to others that it makes it hard to even get through the day. The synergy between body and mind is especially important with such a condition, because premenstrual symptoms affect both your body and your emotions. Lifestyle changes that get you exercising aerobically, eating more carefully, feeling more rested with less stress can all help minimize the symptoms.

Depression
Emotional and behavioral changes may include anxiety, depression, irritability, panic attacks, tension,lack of co-ordination, decreased work or social performance and altered libido. Women typically feel out of control at this time and this can cause the signs and symptoms of depression. The exact cause of PMS, headaches and depression are unknown. It is generally believed that Premenstrual Syndrome, migraine and depression stem from neurochemical changes within the brain. In one study, researchers found that women who received 1,200 mg of calcium carbonate each day for three menstrual cycles had a 50 percent reduction in symptoms particularly mood swings or depression, pain, cravings, and water retention plus many of the other symptoms, as well.
Treatment
Treatment options vary and each woman needs to find one that works for her. Of the estimated 40 million sufferers, more than 5 million require medical treatment for marked mood and behavioral changes. The problem with this approach when used for more than a few cycles, is that it fails to address the underlying hormonal problems. Since 1953, hormonal therapies have been the treatment of choice for premenstrual distress/syndrome.
A number of other treatments have been suggested, although research on these is inconclusive so far such as Vitamin B6, Magnesium, Manganese and Tryptophan. Even without treatment, symptoms tend to decrease in perimenopausal women, and disappear completely at menopause. Treatment studies are becoming more focused and will most likely lead to a better understanding of the menstrual cycle and the effects of hormones on human behavior.
The true incidence and nature of PMS has only recently been recognized by some health care providers, and its cause and treatment are still being studied. While the numbers are staggering the medical profession remains at odds when it comes to identifying a cause, diagnosis and effective treatment.
Conclusion
PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) is a term used to describe a cluster of physical and emotional distress occurring late in the post ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle and sometimes overlapping with menstruation. It can last for up to two weeks before menses and can persist throughout your entire cycle. Premenstrual Syndrome may start at any time during the years that a woman menstruates.
In a recent study, women who consumed seven cups of milk per day (twice the recommended daily allowance of vitamin D) were 40% less likely to have symptoms of premenstrual syndrome than women who consumed one cup or less of milk per day. Yoga can help you relax and reduce some of the moodiness many women experience as part of PMS. Similar techniques can help you to get through it as well. Be sure to check with your doctor before taking any medication for Premenstrual Syndrome.
