“…Therefore, it has become of utmost importance to attend to women's PMS signs and discomfort. Also, the effects of complex self-care health programs, such as nutritional care (Abraham, 1982;Dalvit, 1983;Gallant, Short, & Turkki, 1987;Hargrove & Abraham, 1982), dietary care (Ferstrom et al, 1979;Poldosky, 1963), exercise care (Howlett, Tomlin, & Ngahfoong, 1984;Prior et al, 1987;Timomen & Procope, 1971), and stress care (Beck & Gervitz, 1990;Gannon, Luchetta, Pardie, & Rhodes, 1989;Taylor, 1986), are being demonstrated (Seidman, 1990;Walton & Youngkin, 1987;Wilcoxon, Schrader, & Sherif, 1976).…”

The purpose of this study is to find an intervention that will help alleviate women's signs and discomforts associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). As the social activities of women increase, eliminating PMS becomes increasingly important for many Korean women. A possible health care countermeasure for PMS is to assess PMS at an early stage; clarify the premenstrual signs, symptoms, and tensions; and afterward alleviate the premenstrual signs and discomforts. Related educational programs have been found to be effective interventions. Studies in Korea until now generally have focused on premenstrual signs and discomforts. This study, in contrast, was carried out in order to find women who have physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral discomforts due to PMS, then to provide them with an educational program, and eventually to establish an intervention that would help alleviate their premenstrual signs and discomforts.

“…Swelling, for example, has been reported by 28% (Taylor, 1979), 49-57% (Timonen & Procope, 1971), and 48% of women (Woods et al, 1982c) using some type of MDQ. Weight gain has been reported in some studies by 3040% of women (Taylor, 1979;Timonen & Procope, 1971) but was not mentioned in the diaries. Either these symptoms do not exist in this group of women or they are not perceived as bothersome or severe enough to report in a diary.…”

Concordance of perimenstrual symptoms across two cycles

The prevalence of perimenstrual symptoms usually is based on reports for one menstrual cycle; the consistency of symptoms across cycles is ignored. The purpose of this investigation was to determine perimenstrual symptoms reported concordantly for two menstrual cycles in a group of 63 presumably healthy women reporting symptoms in health diaries over 2 months. There were only nine symptoms for each of the menstrual and premenstrual phases reported by the same woman across both cycles. Furthermore, concordance of perimenstrual symptom reporting across the two cycles was significant only for backache (kappa = .636, p less than .0001), headache (kappa = .849, p less than .001), and cramps (kappa = .899, p less than .001) in the menstruum and for backache (kappa = 0.123, p less than .0001), cold sweats (kappa = .500, p less than .0001), fatigue (kappa = .135, p less than .0001), depression (kappa = .268, p less than .0002), and tension (kappa = .320, p less than .0001) in the premenstruum. Several symptoms showed high prevalence during the remainder of the cycle which might contribute to the lack of concordance. These data imply that prevalence estimates based on only one menstrual cycle may be inaccurate overall and inadequate as baseline or followup estimates by which to evaluate therapeutic intervention.

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.
