How does PMS affect other health problems?
About half of women who need relief from PMS also have another health problem, which may get worse in the time before their menstrual period. These health problems share many symptoms with PMS and include:
1. Depression and anxiety disorders: These are the most common conditions that overlap with PMS. Depression and anxiety symptoms are similar to PMS and may get worse before or during your period.
2. Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS): Some women report that their symptoms often get worse right before their period. Research shows that women with ME/CFS may also be more likely to have heavy menstrual bleeding and early or premature menopause.
3. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): IBS causes cramping, bloating, and gas. Your IBS symptoms may get worse right before your period.
4. Bladder pain syndrome: Women with bladder pain syndrome are more likely to have painful cramps during PMS.
PMS may also worsen some health problems, such as asthma, allergies, and migraines.
