Menstrual mood swings can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'worrying' to 'needs attention'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose menstrual mood swings, we could:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Low DHEA | 96% | Confirm |
Low Estrogens | 22% | Unlikely |
PMS A | 1% | Ruled out |
Do you have mood swings related to your menstrual cycle?
Possible responses:
