ABSTRACT
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a disorder which affects women of reproductive age, with an estimated global prevalence of around 47%, with 3-8%, significantly affected in daily functioning. GABA conductance and changes in neurosteroid levels, and allopregnanolone, are suspected role in the disorder’s etiology. In this paper, we are providing an overview of recent reports on the etiology and recognized therapeutic approaches along with both the Pharmacological and Non- Pharmacological interventions. The treatment of PMS is crucial for enhancing the quality of life for affected women. Medications used in PMS treatment should be individually selected to achieve the best therapeutic effect, considering the clinical situation of the patients.
