Premenstrual syndrome is explained as the changes in the emotions and physical body of a woman which occur before her periods begin. Premenstrual syndrome is usually diagnosed based on a daily record of the symptoms and their temporal relation to the different phases of the menstrual cycle. Each woman is different; thus, they need to be observed for at least 3 ovulation cycles for a diagnosis to be made.
