title: Constructive advice for a poorly understood problem: treatment and management of premenstrual syndrome.
abstract: While women are increasingly seeking therapeutic help for premenstrual syndrome, lack of understanding of its aetiology means treatment focuses more on the symptoms than the underlying cause. A sympathetic approach based on counselling, practical advice and reassurance, however, can help many women to tackle the symptoms before they become more severe.
