Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a collection of physical, psychological, and emotional symptoms related to a woman's menstrual cycle. While most women (about 80 to 95 percent) of child-bearing age have some premenstrual symptoms, women with PMS have symptoms of "sufficient severity to interfere with some aspects of life".

About 14 percent of women between the ages of 20 to 35 get so affected that they must stay home from school or work.
