The aim of the study is to analyze current publications on premenstrual syndrome.
Materials and methods. The information bases of the PubMed and e-library systems were assessed. Key words: Search words: «premenstrual disorder (PMD)», «premenstrual syndrome (PMS)», «premenstrual dysphonic disorder (PMDD)». The search depth is 5 years (2020 -2025).
Research results. As a result of the search, 1537 sources were found: 1507 in PubMed and 30 publications in the e-library. 1487 sources were excluded from the analysis: the full text (is not free of charge) – 234, the absence of the full version of the publication – 745, non-compliance with thetitle – 508. 51 publicationsmet the search criteria.
According to review PMS is prevalent in 10-98% and PMDD in 2-8% of women of reproductive age. Information about etiology, factors affecting the development of PMS, pathogenesis help to choose medicinal and non-medicinal methods of treatment, as well as measures to be taken to improve the quality of women’s life with PMS.
Conclusion. Great attention should be paid to the recognition of premenstrual disorder development factors, timely detection of PMS and PMDD symptoms for diagnosis and treatment according to their form and degree1of severity. A special program should be developed and implemented in the curricular of an educational establishment to prevent moderate and severe degree of PMS.
