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.  There is a wide range of symptoms that can be felt by individual women but the common factor is that they appear in the one to two weeks before the period begins and ease off in the beginning of the new cycle.

We will carefully look at your symptoms in relation to your menstrual cycle, we will request blood tests at different times of your cycle if needed and we will help you improve these often quite debilitating days of the month by advising you on dietary changes, specific supplements and prescription medication if appropriate.

Please note that we will not be able to see you if you are suffering from a severe form of PMS called premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) which can lead to suicidal levels of depression unless you are also under the care of a psychiatrist/psychologist who will support you additionally.
