Birth Control Pills
In some severe cases, your doctor might suggest birth control pills to reduce the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. These medications work by changing the levels of hormones like progesterone and estrogen in the body. However, this is still a controversial option. They would improve the symptoms in some cases, but many patients also experience some worse signs. Normally, you need to take it for a month and then stop to see any improvements before continuing.
