Abstract

Several women's bodies and physiologies undergo physical and physiological changes approximately a week before their menstrual cycle. PMS develops when these symptoms return before each cycle and begin to interfere with a woman's health and daily life. PMS is defined as a set of physical, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms that occur during the luteal phase of menstruation. The cross-sectional study aims to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practise of PMS among female students of MRIIRS, Faridabad. The results showed that majority of the females knew what PMS is. The analysis showed that majority of the women experienced mood swings, irritability, anger, anxiety etc. To ease the symptoms they drank plenty of water, consumed only minerals and vitamins. Majority did not take any medications for this. We can conclude from this research that PMS is a complex but very curable illness.
