Answer 1

Premenstrual Stress Syndrome (PMS, also called Premenstrual Stress, Premenstrual Syndrome, Periodic Mood Swing) is stress which is a physical symptom prior to the onset of menstruation. PMS should not be confused with dysmenorrhea, which refers to pain or cramps during menstruation.

Basically the time right before a girl gets her time of the month/period. Usually it causes mood swings. Not everyone gets it though.

PMS is exceedingly common, occurring in 75% of women of reproductive age during their lifetime. A more severe form of PMS is premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). This occurs in about 5% of women. Both are characterized by symptoms of mood swings, depression, anxiety and irritability that occur prior to menses, usually in the two week period between ovulation and menses. It is often accompanied by physical symptoms such as bloating and cramping.

Answer 2

All correct.

I will be the first to say that I believe in it. (Some people say it's an excuse to be mean.) However, until you have ever had a bad PMS experience, don't be a jerk. Mine is so bad that I actually ignore people for a few days because I KNOW mine is horrible. I remember a time before Rx when I would lay on the cold kitchen floor on my tummy crying because of the pain. I also remember a time when I would cry at a commercial and not know why. Hell even cry while driving because there was traffic. Although controllable and you can limit it by Rx, it is horrible and I feel bad for any woman with bad PMS and any man in her way.

Some men can't control their sexual hormones, woman can't control their reproductive hormones.

PMS Remedies and Treatments
Some women may first have PMS in their teens or 20s, others don't until their 30s. PMS can come and go during reproductive years. Symptoms may worsen before menopause, or even in your late 30s or 40s. PMS only normally occurs in women who ovulate during their monthly menstrual cycle. Therefore PMS does not occur during pregnancy, menopause, or when taking birth control pills. However, similar hormone-related symptoms may occur.Although PMS cannot be cured, lifestyle changes and medication choices can reduce pms symptoms.
To treat PMS successfully, it is important to take note of when the symptoms occur, in relation to the menstrual cycle, and what symptoms they are. Together with lifestyle changes, there are home treatments that can relieve PMS. After a few menstrual cycles, there should be some improvement in symptoms. If there are not, medical/drug treatment should be sought.

Some home treatments and lifestyle changes for PMS include the following;
* Get regular exercise. Exercise can reduce depression, as well as relieve tension, pain, and mood-related PMS symptoms.
* Reduce stress. While stress is not a cause of PMS, it can worsen PMS symptoms. Coping with stress can also be more difficult during the premenstrual period.
* Reduce caffeine, refined sugar and sodium intake. Especially during the premenstrual phase of the cycle. These substances are linked to emotional and physical PMS symptoms, such as insomnia, tension and anxiety, food cravings, pain and bloating.
* Follow a balanced diet and avoid unhealthy habits, like smoking and drinking too much alcohol.
* Take daily calcium and vitamin B6. Both of these vitamins affect the hormone-producing endocrine system. Calcium is strongly linked to PMS symptoms and relief. Daily vitamin B6 is thought to improve PMS depression and physical symptoms.
* Use nonprescription medications, like non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for headaches, joint or muscle pain, breast pain, or cramps.

Surgical removal of the ovaries for PMS is very rare. It is only done in very extreme conditions of PMS and when no other treatments have worked.

Some alternative treatments for PMS include relaxation techniques like meditation, yoga or massage. Sleep deprivation therapy, bright light therapy and acupuncture have also been used to treat PMS.

Yes, but that's because I really was on my period and actually felt like crap. But I've never used it as an excuse and not actually been pmsing.

Pre menstrual syndrome. Girls are moody and very erratic and unpredictable (some women, not all) - just before getting the period.
