Pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) is a social construct, it's a collection of symptoms that are attributed to menstruation and around a week before menstruation, symptoms then ease during menstruation. There are over 150 symptoms associated with PMS but there's no evidence that PMS actually exists, again it's regarded as a social construct: negative symptoms associated with menstruation and framed as a 'syndrome'. Symptoms can include mood changes, bloating, cramping, and breast tenderness.

∙ 9y agoSo many things come under this syndrome. The patient may have the mood fluctuations before the due period. If she happen to make erratic decisions, this is the time for the same. If she suicides, she is likely to do it before the periods. She will get some accumulation of fluid in the body cavity. This is due to decline of the female hormones.
