## What they did

Review of PMS research on diagnosis and treatment

## What they found

Researchers are making progress in defining and diagnosing PMS. Doctors can use specific approaches to help women manage symptoms, though no single treatment works for everyone.

## What it means for you

Since doctors still don't know what causes PMS, treatment must be personalized based on a woman's individual symptoms. Better diagnosis is helping, but more research is needed.
