Researchers found an 11% higher risk for cardiovascular disease in women diagnosed with severe symptoms, not just mild or moderate cramps.

Premenstrual disorders are associated with a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease, a large, long-term study has found.

New research analyzing patient health data from more than 3 million women in Sweden over a 20-year period found that those who were diagnosed with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) had an 11% higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease at some point, compared to women who did not have a diagnosis.

Younger women who experienced a premenstrual disorder before age 25 had an even stronger risk of developing heart disease, 24%.
