Premenstrual tension syndrome
Definition
A syndrome affecting females that is frequently idiopathic. This syndrome is characterised by certain environmental, metabolic, or behavioural factors that occur during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, and leads to cyclic emotional, physical, or behavioural symptoms that interfere with an individual's lifestyle. Confirmation is by documentation of specific cyclic symptoms associated with the luteal and menstrual phases of the cycle (from a prospective symptom diary), and evidence of socioeconomic dysfunction.
