Visiting a Doctor
Which Medical Specialists Can Help with PMS?
Women with severe PMS may benefit from being managed by a multidisciplinary team comprising:
General practitioner/ Family doctor
This is the first point of contact to visit if you are experiencing any problems. The doctor will assess your symptoms, and rule out any other medical condition, menstrual cycle, and overall health.
Gynecologist
Gynecologists specialize in the female reproductive system and provide specific diagnosis and treatment options related to PMS.
Mental health professional
If severe emotional symptoms like significant mood swings, anxiety, and depression are experienced, seeking help from a mental health professional such as a psychiatrist, clinical psychologist, or counselor is advised.
Dietitian
A dietitian can help in making certain dietary changes that can help relieve the PMS symptoms.1
