PMS question?

Question

What are the signs of PMS, and what tests does the doctor do to find out if you have it?

Answer 1

There is a simple blood test that can be done by your doctor to determine if you are.

Answer 2

It isn't something the doctors can test i believe. 1 Week before my period i want to kill someone. lol. I asked the chemist once for anti murder tablets and she laughed. No seriously i am on edge, real irritable, no patience, low memory, nasty for no reason and i will lash out really easy. HOWEVER knowing this i gently warn my family when i am due and my husband locks all the knives away. lol. Only joking but i can see how women do things with PMS they would never normally be capable of. I also try to keep a hold of my emotions as one minute i can be angry next minute i will be in tears for no reason. I just see it for what it is and try really hard not to let them get the better of me.

Taking a b supplement and B6 as well has been known to help with PMS as well. Some women get it worse than others. I have a friend who is a psycho and then fine afterwards.
My craziness usually settles down about the 2nd day into it and i am a nice person again

Answer 3

I dont think the doctors do tests........its just something that happens to women usually right before their periods....
signs would be bloated feeling, sometimes constipation or diarreah, being cranky, craving chocolate, being tired

also, for the record you can help prevent PMS by eating bananas.
I eat a banana a day and my PMS has severly decreased.

Oh yah and drinking lots of water

Answer 4

You want signs? i'll give you bl@@dy signs!
Only kidding, the doc wont do any tests to find out if you have it, you'll know if you've got it, if you dont know your partner sure will.
Most common symptoms are feeling very bloated, stomach cramps, craving chocolate (maybe im just plain greedy!), very tearful and emotional,angry, lower back ache!
Something tells me that Johnna W might have a touch of PMS herself! LOL.
Sorry guys but PMS does exist, if you dont believe me come live in my house for the next couple of days and i'll show you what it can make a normally happy sane gal do!

Answer 5

well PMS is one of the many symptrom of the menstrual cylce so it is not significant enough to have a test carried out for. Signs of PMS is overracting about something minor, or feeling very upset about something you usually wouldnt be upset about. For example, when Anna Nicole Smith died, i cryed a little, but i was just PMSing, because natrually i wouldnt give a ****

Answer 6

there is no test to determine whether a woman suffers from PMS or not, and not every woman gets it. Symptons include bloating, fatigue, body aches, and sometimes extreme mood swings. Sometimes taking the pill (or any hormonal birth control method) can help alleviate symptoms, but not always.
If symptoms are disruptive to your life, see your gynocologist.

Answer 7

There are no tests for PMS. patients who get it are physiologically normal, since the process though unpleasant and uncomfortable one is not technically pathological (abnormal).

Any woman who deveops any or all of a large number of symtoms pre-menstrally is said to have PMS. There include mood changes, bloating, breast tenderness etc.

Answer 8

Irritablity. You can't get tested for PMS. PMS is described as the stage before a women has her period. It's just a rush of emotions and reactions.

Answer 9

im not sure that there are tests but there are mant physical and mental symptoms. there are moodswings that are charged by the hormones released from the brain. the levals can very between women. The symptoms can be. more irrational behaviour, tiredness/lethargy. short temper and generally feeling run down. Also there can be pains and terrible backache. you get headaches too. ive suffered bad in my time and i was percribed with evening primrose oil capsules, it never helped me. you can be put on the pill also if the physical symptons are that bad.

Answer 10
