Exams and Tests

Your health care provider will talk with you about your symptoms and when they occur each month. Keep track of your symptoms, particularly noting when they occur during your menstrual cycle. If you have not already kept a diary, your provider may ask you to keep accurate records of your symptoms throughout the next month or two. This diary gives you and your provider a better understanding of your symptoms and how they relate to your menstrual cycle.

• Your provider may perform various blood tests to rule out other illnesses.
  
  
• Your provider may also ask you to see a mental health provider to rule out a mental health disorder or to confirm the diagnosis of PMDD.
