The Impact of Big Five Personality Traits on Physical, Psychological, and Behavioral Symptoms in Working Women with Premenstrual Syndrome

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is an ailment that affects many women during the luteal phase of their menstrual cycle. The condition is characterized by both physical and psychological symptoms. There are a wide range of symptoms associated with PMS, including mood swings, irritability, fatigue, bloating, breast tenderness, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating, and these symptoms typically subside with menstruation; however, they can significantly affect daily activities and overall quality of life as a result. Managing professional responsibilities while dealing with PMS can be tough for working women, leading to increased stress and decreased productivity (Hofmeister & Bodden, 2016). There are a lot of factors involved in PMS, especially hormonal fluctuations, such as estrogen andprogesterone levels. The influence of psychological factors on PMS symptoms may vary depending on the individual's personality profile, which affects the severity of the symptoms as well as the individual's coping strategies, according to recent research. There is a strong correlation between personality and PMS severity, which is particularly relevant for working women, who are likely to experience heightened levels of psychological and emotional stress in the workplace because of the combination of PMS symptoms and work-related pressures.
