How does PMS differ between younger women and older women?
The study compared emotional status, nerve system function, and pain in women aged 16-25 with women aged 30-38 and found different clinical features in each age group.
What they did
Compared emotional status, nerve system function, and pain in two age groups of women with PMS: younger women (aged 16-25) and middle-aged women (aged 30-38).
What they found
Different clinical features were found in each age group that could guide age-specific treatments for PMS.
What it means for you
Women at different ages may experience PMS differently and may need different treatment approaches. The study focused on women in two specific age groups, so findings may not apply to all women with PMS.
