title: Premenstrual syndrome.
abstract: Premenstrual syndrome is a cyclical disorder involving behavioral, emotional, and physical symptoms during the premenstruum. Because of its unknown etiology, a variety of treatment options exist; yet no therapy has consistently reduced symptoms. Most recent advances have occurred in relaxation techniques and psychotropic therapies.
