90% of women experience PMS, yet most are told it’s “normal.” At Patients Medical in NYC, we uncover the hidden hormonal and metabolic imbalances behind your symptoms—from estrogen dominance to nutrient deficiencies—and create personalized plans to restore balance naturally.We treat the whole hormonal system, not just your symptoms
What Is Premenstrual Syndrome?
PMS refers to physical and emotional symptoms that occur 1-2 weeks before menstruation and resolve with your period.
Types of PMS:
PMS isn’t just a hormonal issue—it’s a whole-body imbalance. At Patients Medical, we use a functional medicine approach to identify deeper causes:
Estrogen Dominance: Too much estrogen relative to progesterone triggers irritability, bloating, and breast tenderness.
Progesterone Deficiency: Low progesterone contributes to mood swings, anxiety, and disrupted sleep.
Poor Gut Health: An imbalanced microbiome affects estrogen detox and contributes to systemic inflammation.
Blood Sugar Instability: Frequent sugar crashes worsen cravings, fatigue, and mood instability.
Chronic Stress: Excess cortisol depletes progesterone and throws off the menstrual cycle.
Toxin Accumulation: Environmental toxins (plastics, pesticides) act as endocrine disruptors that worsen PMS.
Nutrient Deficiencies: Lack of magnesium, B vitamins, and omega-3s impairs neurotransmitter and hormone regulation.
To uncover what’s really behind your PMS symptoms, we offer advanced diagnostic tools
