This study assessed mood among 110 women at three phases of the menstrual cycle and its relationship with the number of reported menstrual symptoms. Women who reported fewer menstrually-related symptoms tended to have generally higher mood scores, but specific depression of mood during menses was found among the subgroup of women who reported fewer menstrual symptoms. Contraceptive pill usage was not related to mood variation across the menstrual cycle. The findings raise questions about the validity of self-reports of menstrually-related symptoms.
本研究评估了110名女性在月经周期三个阶段的情绪及其与所报告的月经症状数量的关系。报告较少月经相关症状的女性往往情绪得分普遍较高，但在报告较少月经症状的女性亚组中发现了经期特定的情绪低落。避孕药的使用与月经周期中的情绪变化无关。这些发现引发了关于月经相关症状自我报告有效性的问题。
