Abstract
Premenstrual syndrome(PMS) is characterized by psychological and/or physical symptoms during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. PMS affects a large segment of women of reproductive age and its social economical cost is high. Women with this problem rarely obtain appropriate professional help due to their and others' around them including their health professionals' lack of understanding and concern on PMS. The primary goal of this paper is to help professionals in the field of PMS, that are clinics, community health center, hospitals, etc., understand the etiology and clinical pictures of PMS and offer its treatment. A comprehensive treatment plan which focuses on cognitive behavioral treatment that encourages a healthy lifestyle and change in cognition of menstrual symptoms and helps develop appropriate ways to cope with the obstacles, frustrations and discomforts of daily life may relieve symptoms in most women. The application of cognitive behavioral treatment was discussed and the details of cognitive behavioral techniques were explained and illustrated by examples. Lastly, current controversial issues were discussed.
