As many as 75 percent of women, during their reproductive years, experience some of the common symptoms associated with PMS. In general, women most likely to experience PMS symptoms are between the ages of 20 and 40 -- and particularly women from this age group who have one child and have a history of depression in their family. |
An exact cause of PMS has not been identified. However, it may be related to social, cultural, biological, and psychological factors. PMS can occur with apparently normal ovarian function (regular ovulatory cycles). |
PMS remains an enigma because of the wide-ranging symptoms and the difficulty in making a firm diagnosis. Several theories have been advanced to explain the cause of PMS. None of these theories has been proven. Among the reigning theories are those relating to alterations in the levels of sex hormones, brain chemicals, and opioid peptides: |
-
Sex hormones: PMS has been thought (since the 1930's) to be due to decreased production of sex hormones by the ovaries after ovulation has taken place (in midcycle, or days 7-10 into the menstrual cycle). To date, this theory is still unproven.
-
Neurotransmitters: Alterations in sex hormone levels at around the time of ovulation have also been thought to cause PMS. The changes in sex hormone levels affect certain brain chemicals which, in turn, bring about the mood changes of PMS. Serotonin and tryptophan, which function as neurotransmitters in the brain, have been shown to create PMS-like symptoms experimentally. These two chemicals have profound effects on mood and emotion.
-
Opioid peptides: These are substances possessing some properties of opiate narcotics but not derived from opium. They are also brain chemicals known to affect mood. The concentration of these compounds in the brain tissue can fluctuate in response to the hormones produced by the ovaries. Because of genetic differences, some women can be more susceptible to these chemical changes in the brain and suffer more severe symptoms.
|
It is believed that lifestyle may play a significant role in PMS. This is because PMS symptoms appear to be most troubling in women who smoke, lead stressful lives, rarely exercise, sleep too little or whose diet is high in caffeine, alcohol, salt, red meat or sugary foods such as chocolate or candy. However, it's not clear whether these factors increase your risk of PMS or if PMS accounts for these differences in lifestyle. For example, studies looking at the influence of stress do not find a relationship between stress and the severity of PMS. It is more likely that PMS causes stress rather than that stress causes PMS. |
