# Do girls with asthma have less PMS?

Yes, girls with asthma had significantly lower PMS rates (20%) compared to girls without asthma (46.67%).

 Early or limited evidence

80 girls aged 12-19 years (50 with asthma, 30 without)

## What they did

Cross-sectional comparison of 50 girls with asthma and 30 healthy girls aged 12-19 years. Researchers recorded age at first period, menstrual cycle details, and premenstrual symptoms.

## What they found

PMS prevalence was 20% in girls with asthma versus 46.67% in healthy girls (P=0.012). PMS severity was associated with later age at first period, not using birth control pills, and use of beta-agonist asthma medications.

## What it means for you

Asthma appears to reduce PMS risk, though the mechanism is not explained. The study was small and limited to one age group of girls, so the finding needs confirmation in other populations.
