Specialist care for PMS and PMDD
Understanding PMS and PMDD
Almost every woman experiences some form of premenstrual symptoms of physical or emotional symptoms that occur in the days before a period. For some women, these symptoms are much more severe and significantly disrupt daily life.
With Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), symptoms may include mood changes, fatigue, or physical discomfort. For those with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), the symptoms including depression, anxiety, or anger are more intense and can be overwhelming and disabling.
At Jaya Life, we recognise that these conditions are real, and impactful, but they are treatable. With the right support, you don’t have to dread every cycle.
