Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is an accumulation of physical and psychological symptoms that occur a few days to two weeks, i.e. in the second half of the cycle, before the onset of your period.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Severe PMS with a clear influence on the psyche - such as depressive moods and anxiety - is referred to as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDS).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

PMS often causes women to feel exhausted, insecure, listless, irritable or angry in the time before their period. Some women have problems concentrating as well as severe mood swings. A perceived loss of control over the body and feelings is reported. Pronounced PMS symptoms severely restrict the daily lives of affected women. This often has a negative impact on relationships within the family, with friends and at work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

All the causes of PMS have not yet been conclusively clarified. However, scientific findings suggest that hormonal fluctuations during the female cycle play a role. Women with PMS do not necessarily have altered hormone levels compared to women without PMS, but are particularly sensitive to the release of progesterone. The hormone is mainly produced in the second half of the cycle before the onset of menstruation and, in addition to its actual function during the menstrual cycle and during pregnancy, also has an effect on certain receptor groups in the brain. It has been shown that both progesterone and metabolites of progesterone (e.g. allopregnanolone) influence the formation of extrasynaptic GABAA receptors and modulate the effect of GABA at these receptors. This appears to be a natural process designed to ensure a certain balance of neuronal excitability even during hormonal fluctuations. In women with PMS, these changes in neuronal excitability are particularly noticeable.<\/p>

Other interactions between progesterone and messenger substances in the brain are also suspected. Tissue hormones, including tryptamines such as serotonin, also play a role here. The influence of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the regulation of neuronal excitability and modulation by steroid hormones also plays a central role. Stress and the resulting formation of cortisol also influences progesterone production, which can lead to an increase in symptoms. The exact mechanisms are currently being researched. Both genetic predispositions (familial influences) and environmental factors (epigenetic influences) influence the development of PMS. Furthermore, natural cannabinoids such as cannabidiol (CBD) also have the ability to modulate extrasynaptic GABAA receptors and thus provide a possible therapeutic potential for PMS (Schmiedhofer et al. 2022<\/a>).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Most women experience some mild PMS symptoms in the period before their period. However, this does not usually have a detrimental effect.<\/p>

Aber rund 30 % aller M\u00e4dchen und Frauen haben st\u00e4rker ausgepr\u00e4gte PMS-Beschwerden, die ihren Alltag beeintr\u00e4chtigen.<\/p>

Bei ungef\u00e4hr 5 % der Frauen sind die Symptome \u2013 besonders die psychischen Probleme \u2013 so stark, dass sie starke Beeintr\u00e4chtigungen erfahren (PMDS).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

PMS symptoms occur in the second half of the cycle after ovulation. It is only during this time that the body produces more of the hormone progesterone, while at the same time the female sex hormone oestrogen decreases. Shortly before the onset of menstruation, progesterone release stops.<\/p>

When the menstrual period starts and a new cycle begins, the PMS symptoms subside again. By the end of the period at the latest, the symptoms of PMS have completely disappeared again and only reappear after the next ovulation.<\/p>

The symptoms can vary both between cycles and over the years. The severity of the symptoms can vary greatly depending on the cycle and can also change over the years. It is difficult to predict how the symptoms will develop. However, they disappear at the latest with the last menstrual period during the menopause, as the hormonal fluctuations then no longer occur.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
