The manner in which menstruation, femininity and the role of the mother are perceived, along with the social influences, are emphasized in the psychosocial dimension of premenstrual syndrome. This study attempts to investigate the perception of mothers and attitudes toward menstruation of a group of women diagnosed with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) in a secular Muslim country. Thirty women with PMDD and 24 healthy women were studied using a semi-structured questionnaire. Menstrual attitude and the way the mother was perceived in the childhood-to-puberty period by women with PMDD, were significantly negative in comparison to the control group. In conclusion, menstrual attitudes and premenstrual experiences of women should be investigated cross-culturally and prospectively.
月经、女性特质和母亲角色的认知方式，连同社会影响，在经前综合征的心理社会层面中得到强调。本研究试图调查在一个世俗化的穆斯林国家中，一组被诊断为经前烦躁障碍（PMDD）的女性对母亲的认知以及对月经的态度。使用半结构化问卷对30名患有PMDD的女性和24名健康女性进行了研究。与对照组相比，患有PMDD的女性在童年到青春期期间对月经的态度以及对母亲的认知方式明显更为负面。总之，应跨文化且前瞻性地研究女性的月经态度和经前经历。
