PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME IN FEMALE MEDICAL STUDENTS. FREQUENCY. CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
Abstract
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenstrual disease, cyclic syndrome is a complex cyclic symptom complex that occurs in some women on premenstrual days (2-10 days before menstruation) and is characterized by psychoemotional, vegetative-vascular and metabolic-endocrine disorders, which, in turn, negatively affect a woman's usual lifestyle. In the course of our study, statistics on the prevalence of PMS in female medical students vary greatly in comparison with what is presented in official medical documents. The compensated stage of mild PMS is most often diagnosed. Common symptoms are pain in the lower abdomen, increased irritability, swelling and tenderness of the mammary glands.
