PMS or PMT? The terms premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual tension (PMT) are interchangeable.

Around 90 per cent of menstruating women get advance warning of an approaching period because of physical and/or psychological changes in the days before their period begins.

For most women the symptoms are mild, but a small proportion finds their symptoms so severe they dread this time of the month. About a third of women say PMS significantly affects their life, with 5 to 10 per cent classifying their PMS as severe. For many women, simple changes to diet and lifestyle, reducing alcohol and caffeine intake and cutting down on cigarettes will make the monthly symptoms more bearable.
