- Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a broadly defined condition used to describe a constellation of symptoms occurring from ovulation to menses correlating with her lowest levels of estrogen and progesterone. Symptoms include abdominal bloating, irritability, mood fluctuations, weight gain, backache, and food cravings, to name a few. It is important to rule out other causes of these symptoms before a diagnosis of PMS is made.
- Research has shown that many women have benefited from dietary changes, increasing aerobic exercise, and nutritional supplementation are all key in preventing and reducing symptoms. Many women also find relief from herbal and homeopathic preparations.
- If you are looking for a natural way to relieve PMS symptoms by treating the cause and not merely addressing symptoms, call Dr. Atkins at 250.381.1234 for a consultation.
