Survey study, 2022

# Does caffeine consumption cause or worsen PMS?

Yes. There is a clear relationship between how much caffeine women consume and whether they experience PMS symptoms.

 Early or limited evidence

87 female medical students in Indonesia

## What they did

Researchers surveyed 87 female medical students in Indonesia about their caffeine intake and PMS symptoms. They analyzed whether there was a connection between the two.

## What they found

There was a clear relationship between caffeine consumption and PMS symptoms. Women who consumed more caffeine were more likely to have PMS.

## What it means for you

Reducing caffeine intake may help reduce PMS symptoms, though this study cannot prove that caffeine causes PMS. The study is small and only included medical students in one country, so results may not apply to all women.
