Understanding PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) – Symptoms and Solutions Expert Advice from Dr. Riya Mahajan, City Hospital (A Unit of EMC Hospitals)
Every month, millions of women face a condition that not only affects their physical health but also takes a toll on their emotional and mental well-being. This condition is known as Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). Though it is not a disease, PMS is a collection of symptoms caused by hormonal changes in the days leading up to menstruation. Unfortunately, society often fails to take it seriously, leaving many women to endure the discomfort, pain, and emotional stress in silence. It’s time we acknowledge, understand, and address PMS — so that women can feel strong, balanced, and healthy every month.


While PMS symptoms vary from woman to woman, there are some common indicators that should not be ignored. These include irritability, mood swings, fatigue, headaches, changes in appetite, intense cravings (especially for sweets), bloating or abdominal cramps, breast tenderness, sleep disturbances, and symptoms of depression. In many cases, these symptoms are so severe that they disrupt daily activities — affecting work, relationships, and emotional stability.
Dr. Riya Mahajan, a renowned gynecologist at City Hospital, explains that PMS impacts not just the body but also mental and emotional health. The good news is that with small, focused efforts and lifestyle changes, PMS can be effectively managed. The first step is awareness — recognizing the signs and understanding your body.
According to Dr. Mahajan, a balanced diet plays a vital role. She recommends consuming green vegetables, fresh fruits, whole grains, and low-fat proteins to support hormonal balance. Avoid excessive salt, caffeine, and fried foods, as they can worsen the symptoms. Regular exercise — even light yoga, walking, or cardio — can uplift the mood and energize the body. In addition, stress management through meditation, deep breathing, and sufficient sleep is crucial.
Dr. Mahajan also emphasizes that if PMS symptoms are intense, recurrent, or interfering significantly with daily life, professional consultation is a must. In some cases, severe symptoms may indicate Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) — a more serious condition that requires medical intervention.
