Abstract :
Background:
Premenstrual syndrome, a periodical disorder of young and middle-aged women, is characterized by affective,
emotional and physical symptoms that take place during the premenstrual phase. The symptoms may cause impairment to
the daily lives of women, affecting their social, behavioural, inter-personal and work-related aspects of life.
Aim and Objectives:
To estimate the magnitude and impact on quality of life of Premenstrual syndrome among women of reproductive age
and to find the association with socioeconomic status.
Method:
Descriptive cross-sectional study with convenience sampling using a self-structured validated question.
Result:
The Prevalence of Premenstrual syndrome among the women of reproductive age group belonging to various strata
involved in the study is estimated to be 62.5%. The study results suggest a strong correlation between diagnosis of PMS and
subsidised quality of life as calculated using MHQoL questionnaire.
Conclusion:
The prevalence rate signifies the hidden burden of pre-menstrual disorders and their potential impact on the quality
of life among women.
