PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME
WHAT IS MENSTRUATION?
Menstruation is a monthly shedding of the female uterine wall.
This is normal physiology. It shows that the female is in the Reproductive
Age.
PHYSIOLOGY OF MENSTRUATION:
Menstruation is the process in which the endometrium which was
ready for the Implantation sheds of when ovum does not get fertilized with sperm. Yes, the
endometrium prepares itself for the Implantation of zygote during this cycle. In the end, if the Ovum fertilized with the Sperm of man than
the Zygote formation occurs and this Zygote gets implanted in the Uterus in its wall,
called Endometrium.
In this course Endometrium which is the innermost layer of The uterine wall becomes highly vascular and thick so if the Fertilization occurs
and the zygote formation occurs than it is ready to implant it.
This whole process is under the control of HORMONES CALLED FSH, LH, OESTROGEN, AND PROGESTERONE. As the menstrual cycle is under control of
these hormones, fluctuations, and changes in these levels of hormones may lead to certain abnormalities in the Female.
These abnormalities can be -
· Amenorrhea –Absence of Menses
· Dysmenorrhea – Painful Menses
And many other conditions related to the Menstrual Cycle.
On the other hand, PMS is a common
condition that is faced by many women. Intensity may vary from Female to

Painful Periods (dysmenorrhea), or painful menses,
is a common complaint during the MENSTRUAL CYCLE.
It may occur as a result of irregular contractions of the muscles
present in the wall of the uterus. It may have a hormonal basis in its order of
development.
