“…9,11,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Several series have also reported that premenstrual syndrome is more common among young, urban literate women, 16,20 especially among those involved in professional studies, than older, rural and illiterate women. 20 This may be related to an increased level of perception and reporting of these symptoms in this group.…”

“…20 This may be related to an increased level of perception and reporting of these symptoms in this group. A review of published data on premenstrual syndrome has shown that retrospective, self-report studies [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] generally show a much higher prevalence of the condition than in prospective studies linking specific symptoms with the menstrual cycle. 21,22 Though the superiority of prospective versus retrospective studies in diagnosing premenstrual syndrome is established, 23 the inherent difficulties in conducting such research over large samples of population is obvious.…”

Background: Research on risk factors for premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is lacking for the Gulf countries of the Middle East, a region with unique cultural features that might influence expectations and self-perception of the disease. We examined the association of PMS frequency with possible risk factors for the disease. Methods: Using a self-report questionnaire, we surveyed all eligible young women (n=464) enrolled in the medical, nursing and medical technology/respiratory therapy educational programs at a university in Dammam. Women were asked about the frequency of symptoms during the previous six months. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed to determine which of several biopsychosocial and dietary factors influenced the premenstrual symptom score. Results: At least one premenstrual symptom was experienced by 448 women (96.6%), and 176 (37.5%) had a high symptom severity score. Premenstrual symptom frequency was significantly associated with a maternal history of premenstrual syndrome, self-perception of mental stress, physical activity, consumption of sweet-tasting foods, and coffee, but these factors only explained 14% of the variability in the multiple regression model. Conclusions:We recommend that women vulnerable to mental stress take advantage of relaxation techniques and psychotropic therapies. Moreover, women with PMS might eliminate sweet-tasting food and caffeine-containing beverages, particularly coffee, from their diet. Ann Saudi Med 23 (6): [381][382][383][384][385][386][387]

“…But in the study of Chayachinda, the most symptoms of the PMS were irritability, overeating and oversleeping or insomnia (Chayachinda et al, 2008). Also in the study of Smith, eating has been reported as the most common symptom of the premenstrual syndrome (Cleckner-Smith et al, 1998). Depression and hopelessness can be named from the other symptoms of the students with PMS.…”

Hence, the researchers decided to conduct a study with the aim of investigation of the prevalent of PMS among the students of the Zahedan University of Medical Sciences. Materials and Methods:This descriptive-analytical study was done on 200 students of Zahedan University of Medical Sciences, Iran. A two-part questionnaire was used in order to collect data. The first part related to the demographic features and the second part was related to the PSTT standard questionnaire. After collecting data, the data was analyzed by using SPSS 19 software through the statistical descriptive tests, Chi square test, Fisher's exact test and t-test. Findings:The mean age of subjects was 21.9 ± 2.61. A total of 89 subjects were diagnosed with PMS. The most percentage of moderate to severe PMS was for students of medicine and the least percentage was for students of nursing. The highest percentage of mild PMS was in nursing students while the lowest percentage was for students of medicine. Conclusion:Regarded to the fact that PMS is from the common problems of premenopausal ages in women and a high percentage of them are with psychological and physical symptoms, and since this condition can cause adverse effects on the quality of women's life; hence, it is necessary to consider the supportive and therapeutic strategies in order to reduce the severity of its symptoms and adverse effects.
