Abstract:

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) are common gynecological conditions affecting millions of women globally, often causing physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms. Conventional medical treatments may not always provide adequate relief, leading many women to seek complementary and alternative therapies, including homeopathy. This review explores global trends, efficacy, regional disparities, and safety concerns associated with homeopathic treatments for premenstrual disorders. Evidence from randomized controlled trials and observational studies highlights homeopathy's potential in symptom reduction, though methodological limitations and regulatory differences pose challenges for broader adoption. While adverse effects remain minimal, significant barriers, such as patient recruitment difficulties and inconsistent study protocols, limit definitive conclusions. Future research focusing on standardized methodologies and larger sample sizes is essential to establish homeopathy's role in managing premenstrual disorders.
