Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a common disorder in childbearing age. Based on different definitions, it is accompanied with specific annoying symptoms that clearly emerge after ovulation and decrease or end with the onset of menstruation. Methods: The present study aimed to determine common premenstrual symptoms & their severity (pain) with relation to VAS in 200 female medical students of GMC, Kannauj in the academic year 2016. Two Hundred female students studying in medical college were randomly selected. The subjects completed two questionnaires of Demographic Information and Symptom Assessment based on the criteria of ACOG and DSM-IV. The pain severity was assessed by using Visual Analogue Scale(VAS).Results: According to the mentioned criteria, among medical students, the most common mood symptom (emotional) was mood variability(“35%”) and somatic symptom (physical) was Abdominal Pain(“38%”)& pain felt by students was mild(“45%”).Conclusion: Given the high prevalence of PMS and its effect on various aspects of life, we highly recommend informing young individuals through books, workshops and media in order to identify the symptoms, provide information about methods of control and treatment of this syndrome, and apply non-interventional treatments and methods to reduce the symptoms.
