No: By definition premenstrual syndrome requires menstruation. One of the mechanisms is hormonal changes and release of prostagandins prior to menses.

Yes: PMS, can trigger from ovarian hormones in excess, from the lack of ovulation likely caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome. As well, the excess build of the uterine lining, can release prostaglandins, another cause of PMS.
