Abstract
Premenstrual syndrome is a term that combines several disorders that are different in pathogenesis and severity of treatment. Among them: the main premenstrual disorder, premenstrual exacerbation of another disease, and others. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder is actually a separate disorder that requires mental health care. This review presents the modern classification of these disorders, provides detailed guidance on their diagnosis and correction. Particular attention is paid to the role of combined oral contraception with drospirenone (COC-DRSP). This form of therapy corrects the symptoms of premenstrual disorders, regardless of the depth of the diagnosis, and is suitable for a significant number of women.
