Abstract
The number of women who seek treatment for Premenstrual Syndromes (PMS) is continually increasing. To meet their needs there are many treatment modalities that have been introduced to clinical practice. In order to assist the clinician in choosing treatment for his/her patients, treatment recommendations by experts in the field are not only available but they may also be prioritized and sequenced as treatment algorithm. Such an algorithm for treatment of women with PMS is presented here. The algorithm is the author's summary and common denominator of several experts' consensus building group processes. The strengths as well as shortcomings of the experts' opinions processes are discussed. Substantial clinically-relevant research and assessments are still needed.Keywords
