“…Identifying modifiable risk factors, such as physical activity, is important to help improve premenstrual symptom severity in women who may not need or want a pharmacological remedy. However, unlike some prior studies [8,11–15,17,18], we did not find a lower prevalence of PMS or premenstrual symptoms in women who participated in high levels of physical activity compared to women who participated in lower levels or no physical activity. We also did not find that a relationship between physical activity and PMS was confounded by BMI.…”

“…To the contrary, a study that included 748 college-aged women found that the percentage of women experiencing premenstrual and menstrual low back pain, premenstrual and menstrual pelvic pain, premenstrual and menstrual headache, premenstrual nervousness, irritability, anxiety, depression and fatigue were all significantly higher (p<0.05) in women studying in other programs compared to those studying at the Institute of Physical Education. These findings, however, were based on the assumption that physical education students were more active, though this assumption was not validated [15]. …”

IntroductionIt is estimated that up to 75% of premenopausal women experience at least one premenstrual symptom and 8–20% meet clinical criteria for premenstrual syndrome. Premenstrual syndrome substantially reduces quality of life for many women of reproductive age, with pharmaceutical treatments having limited efficacy and substantial side effects. Physical activity has been recommended as a method of reducing menstrual symptom severity. However, this recommendation is based on relatively little evidence, and the relationship between physical activity, premenstrual symptoms, and premenstrual syndrome remains unclear.MethodsWe evaluated the relationship between physical activity and premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual symptoms among 414 women aged 18–31. Usual premenstrual symptom experience was assessed with a modified version of the Calendar of Premenstrual Experiences. Total, physical, and affective premenstrual symptom scores were calculated for all participants. Eighty women met criteria for moderate-to-severe premenstrual syndrome, while 89 met control criteria. Physical activity, along with dietary and lifestyle factors, was assessed by self-report.ResultsPhysical activity was not significantly associated with total, affective, or physical premenstrual symptom score. Compared to the women with the lowest activity, women in tertiles 2 and 3 of activity, classified as metabolic equivalent task hours, had prevalence odds ratios for premenstrual syndrome of 1.5 (95% CI: 0.6–3.7) and 0.9 (95% CI: 0.4–2.4), respectively (p-value for trend = 0.85).ConclusionsWe found no association between physical activity and either premenstrual symptom scores or the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome.

Background:Diagnosing and treatment of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) still pose a challenge in the routine medical practice which usually focuses on single pharmacological therapy. Recent research suggests that the combination of treatments including complementary alternative medicine (CAM) therapies may be more beneficial. The objective of this study was to assess the percentage of diagnosed and nondiagnosed PMS/premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) based on the presence of adequate symptoms and to compare population using hormonal or pharmaceutical agents versus CAM therapies.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study targeting sample population of 160 females of potentially reproductive age done in Ukraine between May 2014 and April 2015.Results:According to declared symptoms, 29% females versus 26% previously diagnosed by a medical professional qualify for “moderate/severe PMS,” P > 0.05. In 30% persons using pharmacological agents, major side effects, namely, nausea, insomnia, headache was caused by painkillers, contraceptives, and antidepressants. Only 37.5% of study population has been using CAM therapy methods to deal with the symptoms of PMS. Of these, 22% have achieved moderate degree in relief of the symptoms long term.Conclusions:We have concluded that when dealing with the burden of PMS/PMDD, the affected treatment-seeking women should have choice and access to the variety of therapies within integrative medicine (both conventional and nonconventional).

A premenstruációs tünetek előfordulása nagyon gyakori a nők körében. Kevésbé kutatott terület a premenstruációs tünetek sportteljesítményre való hatása. A kutatás célja, hogy bemutassuk a premenstruációs tünetek előfordulását és hatását a sportteljesítményre, továbbá hogy megtaláljuk a választ arra a kérdésre, hogy a premenstruációs tüneteket észlelő jégkorongozók sportteljesítménye mutat-e különbséget a premenstruációs tüneteket nem észlelő sportolókhoz képest. A kiválasztott 12 versenyszintű, női jégkorongozó esetében meghatározásra került a menstruációs ciklus 4 fázisa: a korai follikuláris, a késő follikuláris, a középluteális fázis és a késő luteális (premenstruációs) fázis. A négy fázisban került sor a robbanékony erő és maximális izometriás izomerő mérésére. Szignifikáns különbséget találtunk a premenstruációs tüneteket nem tapasztaló alanyok különböző menstruációs fázisainak robbanékony ereje között. Az erőkifejtés és a robbanékony erő értékei a különböző csoportokban, illetve a csoporton belül változó tendenciát mutatnak. A kutatás eredményei alapján további vizsgálatokra van szükség a ciklus változásainak mélyebb megértéséhez.
