2, is a drug treatment, apply adjustments the activity of nerve media central nervous system to resolve psychological, emotional disorder, or hormone suppression of ovulation to eliminate breast pain, severe PMS symptoms.

For ease of reference, press control key symptoms of treatment programmes are as follows:

I. strengthening health education:

To reduce the side effects of frequency and severity of treatment should be started by a small dose. 1 for the first time. 25mg/d, increment, maximum daily dose, to menstrual 5mg 14 days before taking the drug withdrawal, menses.

5. Control spirit neural symptoms:

Diagnosis and treatment of mental illness often associated with PMS disciplines.

Where a severe emotional disturbance, shall invite the psychiatrists common treatment. Through drug treatment will only be able to lessen the symptoms the patient feel better, improve functional status, and cannot completely eliminate symptoms. And because individual drug reactions vary, cannot predict in advance which programmes on the effect of a particular patient, so better to determine the programme before the need for pilot treatment, each treatment programmes for best application of three cycles to clear.

1, premenstrual symptoms of abnormal anxiety feelings: shorter than 1 week should emphasize physical exercise, adjust the diet, Supplement, vitamins and minerals, and other self-help therapy.

If necessary, to take diazepam for luteal phase, sleep furtun 200 ~ 400mg, or Librium 5 ~ 5mg 10mg or stability, is to be taken 3 times. Headache, muscle pain, pelvic pain and other symptoms have abdominal laborers can take naproxen, after the first dose 500mg,, may 2nd 250mg; or mefenamic acid (flapping wet pain) 250 ~ 500mg, 2 ~ 3 times/d.

Symptoms longer continuous date from 14 days before menstruation has served until via second day only, 0. 25mg, daily 3, based on patient response to increment until 4mg/d, via per day after the start of a 25% decline until the follicular phase or withdrawal anxiety. Atenolol, can cross the blood-brain barrier, blocking the CNS and peripheral receptor β-adrenergic blocking effect, produce, and have lower plasma Renin activity and aldosterone inhibitors, or mitigate the emission of noise eager, dose 50mg/d.

Six, hormone therapy and inhibits ovulation:

1, progesterone therapy: although not explicitly PMS morbidity associated with progesterone deficiency, but in the luteal phase application widespread progesterone therapy and clinical epidemiologist.

Common progesterone vaginal suppositories suppository, 200 ~ 400mg/d, or micronized progesterone oral 200mg, 2/d.

2, inhibiting ovulation: applies only to the effect of many medications are not obvious, or symptoms particularly severe loss of normal life and work capacity.

Many PMS symptoms such as depression, mania anxious, nervous, breast pain, swelling sense and so significantly reduced, but the androgen effects side effects of the high incidence and serious long-term metabolic reactions, such as high-density lipoprotein concentrations declined, low density lipoprotein concentrations increase, accelerate the occurrence of cardiovascular disease; ③ long-term treatment, common 0 E2. 2mgE2 skin sticking/d in menstrual cycle XIX ~ 26 days by norethisterone 5mg; ④ medroxyprogesterone oral 30mg/d, most economic and convenient, side effects are less effective than the above, but the 3 drugs. Some patients may occur after the depression, found that drug withdrawal. If the application after a few months, you can instead use reliable long-term medroxyprogesterone acetate, 150mg, intramuscular injection every 3 months.

In short, although there is currently no specific drugs to cure the symptoms of PMS, but control can be satisfied with the General overall.

The total treatment time per person, most women will take approximately 2 years, individual or even need treatment to menopause.
