 Early or limited evidence

Women with PMS in different countries

## What they did

A literature review examined information on social and cultural factors that affect PMS in women, including gender roles, relationship structures, and violence.

## What they found

PMS is a common health problem. Gender roles and attitudes, relationship structures, and experiences of violence all affect whether women experience PMS symptoms. Prevalence of PMS varies significantly between different countries.

## What it means for you

Healthcare providers should consider social and cultural context when evaluating women with PMS. The information comes from a review of existing research rather than new data from study participants.
