The diagnosis of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) poses a challenge for clinicians due to the overdiagnosis of retrospective methods and overlapping symptoms with depression. The present study utilized an Item Response Theory analysis to examine the predictive utility of the Premenstrual Symptom Screening Tool (PSST) in women with and without depression. Two hundred and fifteen women aged 20–35 completed the PSST, a daily symptom calendar, SCID-I, and CES-D for two consecutive menstrual cycles. PSST items: fatigue, depressed mood, feeling overwhelmed, anxiety/tension, and decreased interest in everyday activities were the best predictors of PMS. Unlike the daily symptom ratings, the PSST over-diagnosed PMS/PMDD in the depressed group but not in the group of women without PMS/PMDD. While diagnosing premenstrual disorders, clinicians should be aware that a retrospective diagnosis with PSST can be more sensitive to mood disorders and cycle phases than a prospective diagnosis with a daily symptoms calendar.

The aim of this research was to compare menstrual cycles, menstrual disorders, and the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome (PMS)and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) in professional female gymnasts and their peers who donot practice any sport, and to identify factors causing a predisposition to premenstrual tension syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric disorders in both groups. The prospective study involved apopulation of 85 girls. The study group consisted of 45 professional female gymnasts (15–17 years of age) who lived inthe territory of Silesia, in the southern area of Poland. The control group consisted of 40 girls of the same age who lived in the same area but did not professionally practice any sport. The research tools included a questionnaire, a daily diary of PMS symptoms, a daily diary of PMDD symptoms, and a premenstrual symptom screening tool (PSST). The study showed that intensive physical activity undertaken by girls before their first menstruation is a menarche-delaying factor andthat competitive sport promotes premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. The risk factors for PMS and PMDD were also identified, andincluded alcohol and coffee consumption.

Objetivo: Elucidar as principais hipóteses atuais sobre o transtorno disfórico pré-menstrual (TDPM), a síndrome pré-menstrual (SPM) e a terapia cognitiva comportamental (TCC) como tratamento. Método: Foi realizada uma pesquisa nos bancos de dados PubMed, Cochrane e BIREME (LILACS/BVS), nos idiomas português, espanhol e inglês, no período de 2000 a 2017, utilizando os seguintes descritores: transtorno disfórico pré-menstrual, síndrome prémenstrual e terapia cognitiva comportamental. Resultados: Um total de 107 estudos enquadrou-se nos critérios de inclusão – artigos de revisão da literatura, estudos do tipo corte transversal, estudos do tipo coorte prospectivo e estudo do tipo coorte retrospectivo. Cento e cinco estudos identificaram fatores fundamentais para o desenvolvimento da TDPM – as hipóteses da função ovariana, função hormonal, neurotransmissores, genética e fatores ambientais e vulnerabilidade. Desde 2009, temos estudos sobre a TCC como tratamento de primeira linha. Conclusão: Os fundamentos do TDPM podem ser vistos como uma complexa multiplicidade de fatores. Ainda não há nada conclusivo; futuras pesquisas são necessárias para definir os processos etiopatogênicos do TDPM. A TCC demonstrou sua eficácia como tratamento de primeira linha para SPM e TDPM.

Background: Menstrual problems are common among adolescent girls which can affect their daily routine and quality of life. Early detection and intervention for the menstrual problems can improve future reproductive health. Aims: To nd the prevalence and type of menstrual disorders, premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric disorder among adolescents in the primary care setting. This was a community based cross sectional survey done covering Materials and methods: the whole of Thiruvananthapuram district, Kerala..Anganwadis were the primary data collecting units, selected by systematic random sampling. Data was collected using pretested structured questionnaire and validated premenstrual symptoms screening tool. Mean, standard deviation and simple percentage were used. Chi square test was used for nding associations and signicance level. P value <0.05 was taken as signicant. The most common reported Results: problems during menstruation were dysmenorrhoea (73.6%), moderate to severe premenstrual syndrome (13.5%), oligomenorrhoea (12.5%), menorrhagia (8.4%) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (6.2%).The prevalence of menstrual problems increased as the age increased Conclusions: Majority of adolescents suffer from one or other menstrual problem which can affect their academic and social life. It can also affect their future reproductive health. So school health programs should give emphasis on adolescent menstrual health for a healthy future generation.
