Pms what we consider it?


Okay so this is confussing but why do people refer to pms has there period when its PRE menstual syndrome. PMS is the week before right? so why do we refer to it as pms

To answer the actual question: those that label their period as "PMS" are ignorant and are mislabeling it. Oftentimes women are embarassed to refer to their period as it's a relatively private matter. Additionally, they don't want to seem crude or gross, either, so they try to find "nicer" terms. Those that don't know what the PMS acronym stands for believe that they are referring to their period.

Otherwise, PreMenstrual Syndrome can start before menstruation and continue into it. It doesn't have to be before menstruation only.

syndrome is not a period - its a conglomerate of symptoms like tummy pain, lethargy, headache etc that usually appear 5 - 7 days before a period.

It happen before and during menstruation. No special amount of days before -every person different.

What I consider it: About 3-5 days before my period when i'm cranky and have some serious mood swings.
