A variety of maladies, sometimes disabling, beset many ovulatory women in a recurrent manner during the luteal phase of each ovarian cycle. Although the biological basis for this association is not defined, evidence points to a causal relationship between progesterone secretion and withdrawal and the development of these premenstrual syndromes (PMS). As reviewed by MacDonald and associates (1991), symptoms include disorders in mood, behavior, and physical well-being. Commonly, there is a characteristic cluster of the same symptoms in a given woman month after month.
