Abstract

Plasma concentration of estrogen and progesterone were measured during the last 6 days of the menstrual cycle in women with premenstrual tension, and compared with a group of healthy women. Those women with anxiety as the main symptom (PMT-a) had significantly higher estrogen levels on days 5-2 before the onset of menstruation. On days 6-4 they had lower levels of progesterone. Estrogen-progesterone ratios were significantly higher on days 6-3 before menstruation. The PMT-a group also showed increases in body wt. during the last days of the menstrual cycle.
