The number of women who seek treatment for Premenstrual Syndromes (PMS) is continually increasing. To meet their needs there are many treatment modalities that have been introduced to clinical practice. In order to assist the clinician in choosing treatment for his/her patients, treatment recommendations by experts in the field are not only available but they may also be prioritized and sequenced as treatment algorithm. Such an algorithm for treatment of women with PMS is presented here. The algorithm is the author's summary and common denominator of several experts' consensus building group processes. The strengths as well as shortcomings of the experts' opinions processes are discussed. Substantial clinically-relevant research and assessments are still needed.

“…Two studies (Casper and Hearn, 1990;Casson et al, 1990) have shown beneficial effects of hysterectomy and bilateral ovariectomy for womenwithsevere PMS which failed to respond to other treatments (except danazol). These effects cannot be attributed to the loss of menstruation, since it has previously been shown that premenstrual-type symptoms can persist after hysterectomy (Backstrom et al, 1981;Beumont et al, 1975).…”

Many women experience cyclical changes in well-being. In a small proportion cyclicallyoccurring negative changes are serious enough to interfere with daily activities and have bewme known as the premenstrual syndrome (PMS). The belief that the aetiology of premenstrual symptoms is ultimately hormonal, even if mediated through someother mechanism, has been a long-standing one in the literature on the subject. The area of research is reviewed, highlighting the problem of data interpretation. Methodological inconsistencies are common, for instance, variations in the definition and diagnosis of PMS and the endocrinological parameters assessed. This review suggests that the timing of any degree of premenstrual change is related to the ovarian cycle. However, the severity of symptoms experienced, which distinguishes the woman with PMS from one without the syndrome, does not appear to be related to any hormonal parameter so far assessed. Further investigations of the psychology of the menstrual cycle are needed before the aetiology of PMS will be determined.

“…Evidence of the heritability of premenstrual symptoms [12•] and the elimination of premenstrual complaints with suppression of ovarian cyclicity [13] or surgical menopause [14,15] primarily underscore that PMS and PMDD are biologic phenomena (as opposed to psychologic or psychosocial events).…”

About 5% of women of reproductive age experience affective or physical premenstrual symptoms that markedly influence work, social activities, or relationships. Prospective charting of symptoms for at least two menstrual cycles is required to facilitate an accurate diagnosis of premenstrual syndrome or premenstrual dysphoric disorder. The optimal treatment plan begins with lifestyle modifications, followed by pharmacotherapy. Evidence from numerous controlled trials has clearly demonstrated that low-dose serotonin reuptake inhibitors, using intermittent or continuous administration, have excellent efficacy with minimal side effects. Modification of the menstrual cycle should be considered only after all other treatment options have failed.
