Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is often dismissed as “just part of being a woman”—but it doesn’t have to be. At Patients Medical in New York City, we take a functional and integrative medicine approach to PMS that gets to the root of your hormonal imbalances. Whether your symptoms are physical, emotional, or both, relief is possible without relying solely on synthetic hormones or pain medication.
PMS refers to a cluster of physical and emotional symptoms that occur 1–2 weeks before menstruation, due to fluctuations in estrogen, progesterone, and other key hormones. It affects up to 85% of menstruating women to some degree.
Traditional medicine often treats PMS with birth control or antidepressants. Functional medicine looks deeper—at the “why.” Common root causes we uncover at Patients Medical include:
