Between 13% and 19% of women of childbearing age manifest a cohort of somatic, affective, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle with such severity that they interfere with normal socio-occupational functioning; this is premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or, in its most severe expression, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Scientific research has not revealed the existence of a single underlying cause of these disorders, so this thesis discusses some of the hypotheses formulated in this regard.
Tra il 13% e il 19% delle donne in età fertile manifesta, durante la fase luteale del ciclo mestruale, una coorte di sintomi somatici, affettivi, cognitivi e comportamentali con una severità tale da interferire con il normale funzionamento socio-lavorativo; si tratta della sindrome premestruale (PMS) o, nella sua espressione più grave, di disturbo disforico premestruale (PMDD). La ricerca scientifica non ha rivelato l'esistenza di una causa unica alla base di questi disturbi, la presente tesi quindi tratta alcune tra le ipotesi formulate a riguardo.

Abstract
Between 13% and 19% of women of childbearing age manifest a cohort of somatic, affective, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle with such severity that they interfere with normal socio-occupational functioning; this is premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or, in its most severe expression, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Scientific research has not revealed the existence of a single underlying cause of these disorders, so this thesis discusses some of the hypotheses formulated in this regard.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
