Sheerluxe: Midlife PMS: What You Need To Know

“Whether you’re in your 20s, 30s or 40s, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is triggered by hormonal events that take place after the mid-cycle ovulation. Symptoms include mood swings, irritability, low mood, crying spells, breast engorgement and tenderness, abdominal bloating and changes in bowel motions. Studies suggest as many as 75% of menstruating women have experienced some form of PMS, and this can last well into your 40s.” – Dr Margarita Kitova-John, functional medicine doctor & GP
