Many women are familiar with this: in the days before their period, they experience abdominal pain or headaches, feel sad and irritable, and generally feel unwell. The medical term for these symptoms is premenstrual syndrome (PMS). For most women, PMS symptoms are not very severe. However, some women are so affected that they are unable to carry out their normal daily activities during this time. The symptoms begin a few days to two weeks before the onset of menstruation. When menstruation begins and a new cycle starts, the PMS symptoms subside again. They disappear completely by the end of the bleeding at the latest. Some women experience symptoms in some cycles and not in others. The severity of the symptoms can also vary greatly depending on the cycle.
