经前期综合征(PMS)

治  疗
究竟有多少妇女受到经前期综合征的困扰，尚未可知。因为许多病例中，这些症状相当轻微，所以估计的数据差异很大。但是，似乎有5%-10%的行经期妇女的症状严重到需要治疗的程度。采取健康的生活方式，如有规律的体育锻炼、平衡膳食、避免食用难消化的食品以及烟、酒、含咖啡因和糖的食物等，症状轻微的病例通常能够得到缓解。一些家居药物和日常服用多价维生素片(multivitamins)也可能有助于缓解症状。在数个月经周期里记月经日记也是非常有用的选择，譬如记下哪一种症状出现在月经周期的哪一天。这种做法有助于自己预见到经前期综合征并借此采取控制措施。此外，如果需要去咨询医生，这样的日记会提供有价值的线索。无论如何，她需要了解自己的症状，同时要把自己的症状告诉家人和朋友，因而她能够合理地安排自己的工作和休闲日程。当然，对于更严重的病例，象经前期烦躁紊乱症(PMDD)，在细致的检查后和在内科医生的指导下服用某些药物能够得到缓解。

经前期综合征日志

为了留意到自己的经前期的各种症状，妇女可以坚持记日志，在日志里把自己出现症状的日期记录下来。症状的严重程度可以用简单的斜杠(轻度)或叉(严重)来表示。像这样的日志可以让妇女在自己发生经前期综合征期间控制自己的情绪和生活。

PMS

Treatment
It is not known how many women are affected by PMS. Estimates vary widely, because in many cases the symptoms are rather mild. However, it seems that 5 -10% of menstruating women experience symptoms severe enough to require treatment. Mild cases of PMS can usually be improved by adopting a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet that avoids heavy meals as well as cigarettes, alcohol, caffeine and sugary foods. Some home remedies and taking a daily dose of multivitamins may help as well. It is also very usful to keep a menstrual diary for several periods, writing down which symptoms appear on which days. This will help the woman to anticipate her PMS and thus to give her some control over it. Moreover, if she should need to consult a doctor, such a diary will provide valuable clues. In any case, the woman needs to understand her own condition and also tell her family and friends about it, so that she can plan her working and recreation schedules accordingly. More serious cases of PMS and, of course, PMDD may be alleviated by certain medications after a careful examination and under close supervision by a specialist.
