Summary

The menstrual cycle is a recurring process in the lives of women from puberty until menopause. This cycle can cause various discomforts, including premenstrual syndrome. Described differently, premenstrual syndrome is a collection of physical and psychological symptoms that occur during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and subside upon the arrival of menstruation. This definition is conditioned by the existence of a free interval of at least one week between the end of the period and the appearance of these symptoms, as well as a global impairment of functioning and quality of life for women. The impact on the personal, social, and professional lives of affected women, as well as the pain and discomfort it causes, may be perceived as insignificant or normal by women. Therefore, few women report the existence of these disorders to healthcare professionals. As the subject is not approached, these women are not taken care of even though therapeutic solutions could be proposed. This pathology affects a large number of women, but its prevalence differs greatly depending on the studies conducted on the subject, suggesting a lack of knowledge of this syndrome.
