PRE MENSTRUAL SYNDROME
PRE MENSTRUAL SYNDROME
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) refers to a combination of symptoms that occur during the days or weeks before menstruation. These symptoms usually improve once the menstrual cycle begins.
PMS may affect both physical and emotional well-being. Many women experience symptoms such as mood swings, fatigue, bloating, breast tenderness, and irritability during this time.
Hormonal fluctuations that occur during the menstrual cycle are believed to play an important role in PMS. Stress, lifestyle habits, and dietary factors may also influence symptom severity.
While PMS is common, severe symptoms may affect daily activities, relationships, and productivity.

Ayurvedic Perspective
In Ayurveda, PMS may be associated with imbalance of Vata and Pitta doshas affecting the menstrual cycle.
- Vata imbalance may cause mood fluctuations, anxiety, and irregular menstrual flow.
- Pitta imbalance may contribute to irritability, headaches, and inflammation.
Digestive imbalance and stress may further aggravate these doshas.
Ayurvedic management focuses on balancing hormones, calming the nervous system, and improving menstrual health.
Management may include:
- Herbal medicines supporting hormonal balance
- Dietary guidance for menstrual health
- Stress management techniques
- Lifestyle modifications supporting hormonal regulation
