PMS (premenstrual syndrome) symptoms can disrupt daily life. Many women become frustrated and seek ways to deal with PMS. When they have questions, they know they can turn to Dr. Taryll L. Jenkins and his attentive staff, a group of compassionate gynecologists in the 77494 area. They will find a warm and welcoming environment at his practice, Jenkins Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Medicine.

PMS can occur for the first time as a teenager or at age 30. Women in their late 30s and 40s often experience more severe PMS symptoms because they are approaching perimenopause. The symptoms of PMS vary from emotional to physical and mild to strong. They include feeling angry, irritable, sad, or anxious. Women may have less energy and become less alert. They may have trouble focusing on tasks and eventually withdraw from family and friends. Headaches, swollen and tender breasts, abdominal cramps, bloating, and low back pain are other symptoms they may experience. Symptoms can change in level of severity from month to month. Stress and lack of exercise can increase the severity of PMS symptoms.

If you have experienced PMS symptoms, the team at Jenkins Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Medicine will take the time to listen to all your concerns, answer your questions, and devise a treatment plan that best meets your needs. They may ask you to keep a written diary of your symptoms for two to three months, which includes recording when they begin, how long they last, and their levels of severity.
