Premenstrual Syndrome
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) Support at Holistic Gynaecology Clinic London
Cyclically recurring symptoms including mood changes such as feeling depressed or irritable and physical symptoms such as tender breasts, which occur in the second part of the menstrual cycle, are known as premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
There is a wide range of symptoms that women may experience, but the common factor is that they appear in the one to two weeks before the period begins and usually ease once menstruation starts.
Common Symptoms of PMS
- Mood swings, irritability, or low mood
- Anxiety or feeling overwhelmed
- Breast tenderness and bloating
- Headaches or migraines
- Sleep problems and fatigue
- Food cravings and appetite changes
Our Holistic and Evidence-Based Approach
At Holistic Gynaecology Clinic London, we take the time to carefully assess how your symptoms relate to your menstrual cycle. If needed, we may request blood tests at different points of your cycle to better understand your hormonal patterns.
Our personalised treatment plans may include:
- Dietary advice to stabilise blood sugar and reduce inflammation
- Targeted nutritional supplementation for symptom relief
- Prescription medication when clinically appropriate
- Mind-body strategies to support mood and resilience
Important Note on PMDD
Please note: we are not able to provide care if you are suffering from a severe form of PMS called Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). PMDD can cause severe mood disturbances, including suicidal levels of depression. If you suspect PMDD, we can only see you if you are also under the care of a psychiatrist or psychologist who will support you alongside our medical care.
