Outlook

The symptoms of premenstrual syndrome are usually gone within 3-4 days of the start of your period. If you have a severe case of PMS, some doctors will treat you with a variety of medications or with a combination of medicine, diet, and exercise. The only definitive cure for PMS is removal of the uterus and ovaries, which may have many other complications and unwanted long- and short-term consequences. Most women gain benefit from existing therapies without surgery.
