Premenstrual syndrome

Women of childbearing age have a series of mental, behavioral, and physical symptoms repeatedly 7 to 14 days before the current menstrual period (ie, during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle). The symptoms disappear immediately after menstruation. As the mental and emotional disorders of this disease are more prominent, they have been named "premenstrual tension" and "premenstrual tension syndrome" in the past. In recent years, the symptoms of this disease are widely spread. In addition to neuropsychological symptoms, it also involves several unrelated organs and systems, including a variety of organic and functional symptoms. Therefore, it is collectively referred to as "premenstrual syndrome syndrome (PMS). However, there are still scholars who have highlighted the symptoms of emotional abnormalities and have proposed the term "late luteal phase dysphoric disorder (LLPDD)" as a branch of PMS.
