PMS is a nonsense term, it is not a specific condition but a term used to describe around 150 symptoms mostly consisting of negative symptoms associated with menstruation - often this is about social ideas surrounding menstruation. There is actually no scientific evidence that PMS exists, and outside of Western medicine PMS is unheard of.

If you have symptoms before menstruation then you simply have those symptoms, there's no reason to use the term 'PMS' because that term doesn't explain anything about what you're experiencing other than that you're seeing symptoms before your period. Things like breast tenderness and cramps can be symptoms of upcoming menstruation if you have hormonal imbalance.
