Description
Mahsa Abdollahpour Kahriz and co-authors present a 2026 cross-sectional study of what predicts premenstrual syndrome severity in female medical students. Early-life adversity may echo into adult reproductive health. Trouble naming feelings and general distress could carry that influence forward.
Nearly seven hundred students completed trauma, symptom, emotion, and distress questionnaires. Structural models tied the measures together with good fit. Distress was the strongest direct predictor of severity, with childhood adversity and emotion-naming trouble also mattering. Adversity tracked severity at a mid level overall. Screening and support for trauma histories become part of premenstrual care.
