PMDD Support for Gynecologists

PMDD Support for Gynecologists

Lifestyle intervention alongside hormonal treatment

As a gynecologist, you often treat women with PMDD with hormonal therapy such as continuous oral contraceptives, GnRH analogues or the Mirena IUD. While hormonal treatment can be effective, many women experience side effects and symptoms sometimes partially persist. The PMDD Resilience Program offers evidence-informed lifestyle support that enhances the effectiveness of hormonal treatment, reduces side effects and helps patients gain control over their lives.

Common challenges in your practice

These situations probably sound familiar. The PMDD Resilience Program offers a solution.

Side effects of GnRH analogues

Women often stop GnRH treatment due to hot flashes, mood swings or bone density loss. The program offers nutrition and exercise advice that alleviates these side effects.

Non-compliance with the pill

Many women forget the pill or stop taking it due to negative experiences. The AI Companion helps with medication adherence and provides tools to deal with side effects.

Unrealistic expectations

Some patients expect hormonal treatment to resolve all symptoms. The program helps create realistic expectations and offers additional support.

Overlap with endometriosis

With comorbidity with endometriosis, an integrated approach is essential. The program offers pain management and lifestyle advice that support both conditions.

Case examples

Practice examples from our pilot

1

Case: 28-year-old woman with GnRH treatment

Patient wanted to stop GnRH analogues due to severe hot flashes and weight gain. After starting the program, she learned techniques to deal with hot flashes (cold showers, breathing, loose clothing) and received nutritional advice for weight management. After 8 weeks, she decided to continue treatment because side effects became manageable. PMDD symptoms are now 80% reduced.

2

Case: 35-year-old woman with continuous pill use

Patient regularly forgot her pill and experienced breakthrough bleeding. The AI Companion sent daily reminders at a fixed time. Additionally, she received education about the importance of consistency with PMDD. After 3 months, adherence increased from 60% to 95%. Symptoms have significantly improved and breakthrough bleeding has decreased.
