When I talk to women about PMS, one of the major concerns that I have is how younger women and teenage girls are learning about PMS. Mostly, this concerns me because if we are not talking about PMS, then we are passing on the legacy of PMS as a taboo subject. Granted, almost every mother gives the basic talk with her sex and pregnacy talk that includes the statement “you can come to me about anything,” but are we really encouraging young girls and teenage girls to discuss the topics around PMS?
My fear is that we are not! Why?
Perhaps because our mothers did not discuss PMS with us, so we never thought it was ok to talk about cramps or PMS headaches.
Maybe because the topic of PMS is approached in a sterile way of medical terms with a 1950’s film that it does not seem to be a safe subject.
It could be the connection between PMS and sexuality (entering childbearing years) that scares most parents away from the topic.
Either way, without a firm understanding of the PMS symptoms coming her way every month for the next 30+ years of her life, a teenage girl will resist the planning that can help her ease the pain of PMS every month.

We are not taught to PMS proof our environment for safety. Instead of preparing for PMS every month, we wait to react to the cramps, mood swings, headaches, and bloating that come with PMS. The best way to PMS proof your home is to talk to those you love about your PMS symptoms and let them know what is going on in your life that causes everything from PMS acne to PMS anger!
Although this might sound like a painful proposition in itself, I use the following guidelines when talking to others about PMS:
Be direct about your PMS. Let the person you are talking with know exactly what your subject is going to be. If you use words that avoid that subject, like “monthly visitor” or “your friend,” then the confusion is more likely.
Be specific about your PMS symptoms. If you are general using words like “my back hurts,” then you could have a pulled muscle. Tell the person you are talking to that you get cramps that hurt in your stomach and back. It is not as painful as the PMS to communicate.
Give the person you are talking to methods to help you through your PMS. By giving them hints as to how to help you with your PMS, you give them solutions and help yourself. Remember–PMS knowledge is power!
