Abstract |
The objective of this study was to assess life domain and work-related impairment in patients experiencing premenstrual syndrome (PMS). 456 women, 18 to 45 years of age, completed a questionnaire to record daily symptoms for two consecutive menstrual cycles. 29% of the respondents reported PMS symptoms. In the workplace, women with PMS reported higher absenteeism rates (2.5 days vs. 1.3 days) and more workdays with 50% or less of their typical productivity (7.2 days vs. 4.2 days). Women with PMS also reported a greater number of days with impairment in routine work, school and household activities in comparison with women without PMS. |
