Exacerbation of asthmatic symptoms just before or at the time of menstruation documented in some women with asthma has been called "premenstrual asthma" (PMA). The effect of sex hormones on airway function has not been well studied in spite of much evidence to suggest, therefore about relationships between the sex hormones and airway. The investigations of (PMA) have been based on studies of asthmatics already aware of a deterioration of asthma premenstrually. Little is known, therefore, about relationships between the menstrual cycle with asthma and (PMA) subjects. Although the mechanism of PMA remains unclear.
一些患有哮喘的女性在月经前或月经期间哮喘症状加重，这种情况被称为“经前哮喘”（PMA）。尽管有很多证据表明性激素与气道之间存在关联，但性激素对气道功能的影响尚未得到充分研究。对经前哮喘（PMA）的研究一直基于对那些已经意识到月经前哮喘病情恶化的哮喘患者的研究。因此，对于月经周期与哮喘及经前哮喘（PMA）患者之间的关系知之甚少。尽管经前哮喘的机制尚不清楚。
