The effect of progesterone administration on sex hormone binding globulin binding capacity in women with severe premenstrual syndrome

Dalton ME, 1984 · J Steroid Biochem

Thirty-one women with severe premenstrual syndrome had low sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) binding capacities 30.2 +/- 9.4 nmol DHT bound/l. The SHBG binding capacities rose when they were treated with three different doses of progesterone. On 400 mg (17 women) SHBG level was 45.11 +/- 11.80. On 800 mg (8 women) SHBG binding capacity rose to 64.75 +/- 14.30 and on the six women who took 1200 mg progesterone daily SHBG binding capacity was 78.5 +/- 23.10. These results are discussed.

Sex hormone-binding globulin concentrations in women with severe premenstrual syndrome

Dalton ME, 1981 · Postgrad Med J · Free full text on PubMed Central

Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) binding capacity was measured in 50 women with severe premenstrual syndrome and 50 age-matched controls. The binding capacity was significantly lower (P = 0.001) in the patients. This finding suggests that the levels of SHBG binding capacity could be useful in the diagnosis and may help to explain the aetiology of the premenstrual syndrome.

THE HORMONAL CAUSES OF PREMENSTRUAL TENSION

Frank RT, 1931 · Arch NeurPsych

My attention has been increasingly directed to a large group of women who are handicapped by premenstrual disturbances of manifold nature. It is well known that normal women suffer varying degrees of discomfort preceding the onset of menstruation. Employers of labor take cognizance of this fact and make provision for the temporary care of their employees. These minor disturbances include increased fatigability, irritability, lack of concentration and attacks of pain. In another group of patients, the symptoms complained of are of sufficient gravity to require rest in bed for one or two days. In this group, particularly, pain plays the predominant rôle. There is still another class of patients in whom grave systemic disorders manifest themselves predominantly during the premenstrual period. REPORT OF CASESCase 1. —A young, unmarried woman suffered from frequent convulsive attacks, which later occurred exclusively within ten days preceding menstruation. Neurologic investigation resulted in a diagnosis
