What is premenstrual syndrome (PMS)?
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a group of symptoms related to the menstrual cycle. PMS symptoms occur in the week or two weeks before your period (menstruation or monthly bleeding). The symptoms usually go away after your period starts. PMS may interfere with your normal activities at home, school, or work. Menopause, when monthly periods stop, brings an end to PMS.
The causes of PMS are not yet clear. Some women may be more sensitive than others to changing hormone levels during the menstrual cycle. Stress does not seem to cause PMS, but may make it worse. PMS can affect menstruating women of any age.
PMS often includes both physical and emotional symptoms. Diagnosis of PMS is usually based on your symptoms, when they occur, and how much they affect your life. -

How common is PMS?
Estimates of the percentage of women affected by PMS vary widely. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, up to 50 percent of menstruating women report some symptoms of PMS. Most of these women have symptoms that are fairly mild and do not need treatment. About 30% have moderate symptoms that are annoying. Some women (perhaps five to ten percent of menstruating women) have a more severe form of PMS. -

Cravings for Sweets Or Salt
The physiological changes in a woman's body premenstrually often results in hunger and specific food cravings. The most common foods craved are chocolate and salty chips. This is the most difficult time for dieting women becos they find it hardest to refrain from sweets and often become discouraged becos of their binges. Women caught in the cycle of anorexia, bingeing and self induced vomitting often have their most difficult times premenstrually. -
Acne, Hives, Styes, Pimples , Rashes
Many women, adult and teen, find that their acne becomes much worse premenstrually. Women who don't usually have skin problems may break out with pimples or sores at this time of month. If a woman is prone to styes or other infections, including herpes, these problems may erupt premenstrually. Some women are more allergic to makeup at this time of the month. -
