The frequency, as well as the severity of the PMS (Pre-Menstrual Syndrome), varies from female to female based on various socio-demographic, dietary, and lifestyle factors. Nevertheless, the PMS is known to affect day-to-day functioning including interference with school/work productivity, relationships with friends, family, and colleagues. This is especially important for medical students where academic performance is much skillful and demanding.
