S4 Ep. 21: PMDD; What to do With This More Severe Form of PMS

Our topic today on The Hormone Genius Podcast is PMDD or Premenstrual Dysphoric disorder. This particular form of severe PMS effects about 5% of the female population. It happens in the week before menstruation, but can range from 2-3 days before menses up to even 10 days before. It is marked with more mental and emotional changes that are moderate to severe and effect a patients relationships and quality of life. These symptoms often include irritability, depression, anxiety, mood swings, crying, even anger or rage, and many other physical and emotional changes. It is important for us to understand why PMDD occurs but also treatments and solutions that help women who suffer from this more severe form of PMS. This of course always starts with a woman learning and understanding how to track the symptoms of her body to her own unique cycle. Teresa will dive into some treatments that are offered through NaproTechnology which may be obtained by finding a provider who is trained in this particular women's health science.
