Hi everyone in my point of view.Women were excluded from the study population if they had been told by their doctor that they were either menopausal or premenopausal and were having no/almost no more periods. Women who were pregnant or breastfeeding at the time of the survey were also excluded, as were women who had been breastfeeding for more than 10 months of the previous year. Women were further excluded if they had undergone hysterectomy or if they had been diagnosed with cancer in the past year, as they might experience with nonspecific symptoms similar to symptoms of PMS.
