PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME NEW POSSIBILITIES OF THERAPY

The premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a complex pathological symptom manifesting itselft through variety of neuropsychiatric, vegetative-vascular and metabolic-endocrine disorders that affect the quality of life of patients and reduces their working ability.

The treatment of PMS starts with the selection of diets, correction of the working and rest periods and the maximum reduction of psychoemotional stress. For the purpose of pharmaceutical effetc hormonal therapies, psychotropic drugs, nonsteroid antiinflammatory drugs, diuretics, plant and homeopathic drugs, vitamins are used. The most pathogenetically reasonable is hormonal therapy.

The use of combined oral contraceptives enriched by folates as a way of PMS therapy has an additional effective impact on the nervous system, contributes to the stabilization of the central neuroregulatory mechanisms and reduces the expression of  emotional and affective symptoms and cognitive disorders.
