# How common is PMS in nursing students?

Very common. 99% of nursing students experience PMS, and about 62% say it affects their daily activities before their period.

 Early or limited evidence

100 nursing students in Telangana, India, ages 18-25

## What they did

Cross-sectional study of 100 nursing students at a college in Telangana, India. They completed self-reported questionnaires about whether they experience PMS and how it affects their lives, plus a PMS severity scale.

## What they found

99% of women experienced some level of PMS. Around 62% reported that PMS impaired their activities before menstruation. The students ranged from ages 18 to 25, with an average age of 20.3 years.

## What it means for you

PMS is extremely common in this group. But the study relied on women self-reporting their symptoms rather than being examined by a doctor, and it only included students from one college in India, so results may not apply to all women.
