It might be for a few days.

It might be even for two or three weeks.

So you might have the majority of time with symptoms.

And often as we age and our own hormones generally decline in levels, people can have more severe symptoms for longer with PMS and PMDD.

So if you do have any symptoms and they're affecting you, then that's when you need to try and seek help, support and treatment.

The other thing, as many of you know, is when we prescribe hormone treatments, we do it for two reasons.

One is to help people feel better.

And as a doctor, it's really lovely to help people feel better.

But the second reason is to improve future health.

Because our hormones work on every cell in our body, including our immune system.

So they help improve and reduce inflammation in the body.

They help our mitochondria to improve in function.

And our mitochondria are the powerhouse of our cells.

They help the energy production in all our cells.

And we need our cells to work as well as possible to reduce the risk of inflammatory diseases, including cancer, as we age.

So we know that those hormones are so crucially important.

But if we're not having the right amount or level in half of our cycle, or a third of our cycle, a quarter of our cycle, or a few days of our cycle, that means on those days there's more inflammation in our body.

There's worsening mitochondrial function.

And we know from studies and data that when women have PMS and PMDD, their future health is not as good.

They have a higher risk of inflammatory conditions, including osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, all metabolic conditions, autoimmune diseases, because it's the same pathophysiology, the same underlying cause, the menopause and perimenopause.
