Word origin

The term PMS emerged in the medical community in the 1950s, but the symptoms associated with it have been documented for centuries. Early historical texts indicate that discomfort and emotional disturbances linked to menstruation were recognized as far back as ancient Greece. The term 'premenstrual syndrome' began to gain traction after being used in several medical papers during the mid-20th century. Initially, discussions around PMS focused on its psychological components, but research has expanded to include biological and hormonal factors. As awareness grew, PMS became a recognized diagnosis, leading to better understanding and treatment options for those affected. The term reflects both the physical and emotional challenges some women experience in relation to their menstrual cycle.
