Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) therapy focuses on managing the emotional, behavioral, and physical symptoms that occur in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle (usually 1–2 weeks before menstruation). Treatment varies depending on severity and symptom profile but typically includes a combination of lifestyle modifications, nutritional support, medications, and sometimes psychological therapy.
These are often the first line of therapy and can make a huge difference:
Exercise regularly – aerobic activity helps balance hormones and boosts mood.
Reduce stress – try yoga, meditation, deep breathing, or journaling.
Sleep – aim for 7–9 hours per night.
Quit smoking and reduce alcohol – both can worsen symptoms.
