About Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorders

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is not a surgical procedure but a severe, diagnosable mood disorder linked to the menstrual cycle. Management by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist involves a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan. This typically begins with a detailed medical history, symptom tracking over at least two cycles, and a thorough evaluation to rule out other conditions. Treatment is multifaceted and may include lifestyle modifications, psychotherapy (like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and pharmacological interventions such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), hormonal treatments like combined oral contraceptives, or, in severe, refractory cases, interventions like gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. The goal is to significantly alleviate the debilitating emotional and physical symptoms that disrupt daily life and functioning.
