Abstract
Interest in the premenstrual syndrome (PMS) has increased rapidly in both the lay and professional communities during the past few years. Research on the causes, diagnosis and treatment of the disorder continues to expand. An area that has received little attention, however, is the current treatment practices of physicians who recognize PMS as a treatable disorder. Our study was a survey of 502 physicians from the United States and Canada regarding diagnostic and treatment services provided to their PMS patients. Descriptive results of the survey, as well as breakdowns by medical specialty and region, were obtained. The results have implications for current practice and future research.
