Premenstrual syndrome is a world-wide problem. Women everywhere are searching for an answer and the need for help is never-ending. Yet too many women are afraid to approach their family doctor for fear that their problem will be considered too trivial, time-wasting or all in the mind. PMS does exist and it does affect a lot of women. This book tells the reader about its causes and reviews all the treatments, good and bad, which are commonly used today. PMS has been written to fulfil women's need to find relief from their once-a-month misery and suffering. Among the more than 100 options for treating the 150 different symptoms of PMS, this book considers the effectiveness of: over-the-counter medications; progesterone and other hormonal treatments; surgical options; self-help methods - diet, relaxation, etc; and treatment without drugs - hypnosis, acupuncture, aromatherapy, osteopathy, etc. Nowhere, it seems, have women yet found the answer to PMS. This book should help the reader choose the best treatment to combat what has been described as the world's commonest disease.
