Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is something that many women have accepted as part of life, affecting mood, appetite, energy and sleep patterns as part of the monthly cycle. In Australia, it is estimated that up to 82% of women experience PMS at some time. A frustrating syndrome for women, it is also damaging to relationships, often everyone including partners and children come to dread "that time of the month".

What causes PMS?

There are numerous studies that clearly link PMS to hormonal imbalances. Basically, PMS is caused by an imbalance in your female reproductive hormones. It takes hold after ovulation and often gets worse just before your period. It's not 'normal' & should be given as much importance as other health complaints.

Firstly, women with PMS have lower levels of progesterone and allopregnanolone, an important neuro-steroid in the human brain that targets brain receptors to reduce anxiety and create calm during times of stress. This contributes to mood changes.

Secondly, mood symptoms are further exacerbated by the elevated levels of estrogen, which stimulate the Central Nervous System, making you ONE FEISTY WOMAN!

Unfortunately the combinations of neurological and hormonal factors that cause PMS are not necessarily well understood.

Some women experience premenstrual symptoms that are so serious that they have damaging effects on their lives at home and at work - it's like becoming another person! If this is happening to you these mood changes may threaten your relationship with your partner, children, friends, employers and work colleagues.

PMS pretty much is a sign that your hormones need an overhaul; it is a major symptom of hormone imbalance.

If the problem is left undiscovered and untreated, more serious health complaints can emerge from the hormone imbalance such as metabolic syndrome, Polycystic Ovarian Disorder (PCOS) or fibroids.
