Many women suffer from some form of premenstrual syndrome – from mild discomfort to painful cramps and mood swings. While medication can help certain PMS symptoms, your first line of treatment should be natural remedies and lifestyle changes, says Robin Miller, M.D., Lifescript women's health expert. Read on for everything you need to know about PMS remedies…
Do you suffer from symptoms of PMS?
If you're in your reproductive years, the answer is probably yes, says Lifescript women's health expert Robin Miller, M.D.[1], a board-certified internist, integrative medicine specialist and co-author of The Smart Woman's Guide to Midlife and Beyond[2] (with Janet Horn, M.D., New Harbinger Publications).
As founder and medical director of the Triune Integrative Medicine clinic in southern Oregon, Dr. Miller is one of the top experts on both conventional and natural remedies for women's health problems.
We asked her to discuss what causes PMS, its most common symptoms, and – most important – the best ways to treat it, from nutritional supplements to diet and exercise.
How many women experience premenstrual syndrome?
It's extremely common. [Researchers estimate] that 85% of menstruating women have at least one PMS symptom during their menstrual cycle, and anywhere from 40%-70% of women suffer from PMS regularly.
