A member asked:
How early before a period can pms symptoms start? can pms symptoms worsen with age? emotional & digestive pms symptoms seem to be worse in my 30s.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: PMS occurs a few days to a week before your cycle starts as the hormone levels fall to trigger the menstrual cycle. This will vary from person to person. Age can certainly play a factor. Birth control pills are a quick and easy way to balance out this issue.
