When does PMS is Over?

PMS symptoms are manageable to a great extent with clinical treatment and home remedies. PMS affects four in every five women. Popular studies have suggested that the symptoms of PMS are more prevalent at least 6 to 7 days before the onset of the menstruation period. This is because the uterine lining sheds in a period of five to eleven days. The symptoms have surged as soon as the woman experiences the ovulation period. Before the onset of the menstrual period, a corpus luteum is created that boosts the production of progesterone levels in preparation for pregnancy. Once the pregnancy is terminated, the levels of the progesterone & oestrogen levels drop thus making the PMS symptoms less severe. However, it does not last for four days after the menstruation period is over.
