Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) Care in Bangalore
Premenstrual symptoms can affect mood, energy, sleep, and relationships in the days before a period. When symptoms recur predictably and interfere with work or home life, they deserve medical review — not dismissal as something every woman must tolerate.

Understanding this area of care
A clear overview to help you know what to expect before your consultation.
PMS encompasses physical and emotional symptoms in the luteal phase — the week or two before bleeding. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a more severe form with significant mood disturbance. Diagnosis relies on symptom timing across cycles rather than a single blood test. Management ranges from lifestyle measures to hormonal or other medication when symptoms are moderate to severe.
Symptoms & concerns
Common patterns women describe — though every experience is individual.
- Mood swings, irritability, or low mood before periods
- Anxiety or feeling overwhelmed cyclically
- Bloating, breast tenderness, or headache
- Fatigue and sleep disturbance in the premenstrual week
- Symptoms that resolve within days of bleeding starting
Possible causes & context
Helpful background — a consultation helps clarify what applies to you.
- Sensitivity to normal hormonal fluctuations across the cycle
- Serotonin-related mood changes in PMDD
- Overlap with depression or anxiety that worsens premenstrually
- Other gynecological conditions that mimic or amplify cyclical symptoms
When should you seek care?
If any of the following apply, it is worth arranging a consultation.
- Premenstrual symptoms regularly affect work, relationships, or daily function
- You track symptoms and they cluster in the week before periods
- Over-the-counter measures no longer help
- You wonder whether you have PMDD rather than mild PMS
- Symptoms persist throughout the cycle — not only premenstrually
What a consultation may involve
Every visit is tailored — this is a general guide to what may be discussed.
Symptom diary review across at least two cycles when available
Screening for depression, anxiety, and thyroid disorders
Examination when needed to exclude other causes
Discussion of lifestyle, stress, and sleep factors
Individualised plan — lifestyle, supplements, hormonal options, or referral
Treatment & management overview
Options depend on your history, examination findings, and preferences.
Mild PMS may improve with exercise, sleep regularity, and dietary adjustments. Moderate to severe symptoms may benefit from cyclic hormonal treatment, SSRIs for PMDD, or other options discussed after careful history. Tracking symptoms helps confirm that treatment is targeting the right pattern.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to common questions — for personal advice, please book a consultation.
What is the difference between PMS and PMDD?
What is the difference between PMS and PMDD?
PMDD involves more severe mood symptoms — marked irritability, depression, or anxiety — in the premenstrual phase with significant functional impairment. Diagnosis requires documented cyclical pattern over time.
Can birth control pills help PMS?
Can birth control pills help PMS?
Some women find continuous or cyclical hormonal contraception reduces premenstrual symptoms by stabilising hormone levels. Response varies; options are chosen based on your health and preferences.
Do I need blood tests for PMS?
Do I need blood tests for PMS?
There is no definitive blood test for PMS. Tests may be used to exclude thyroid disease or other conditions that cause similar symptoms, especially if the pattern is atypical.
