Do period symptoms worsen with age?

It's possible that our monthly symptoms can change as we age and in some cases, risk getting worse. Symptoms can often change as a result of hormone imbalance, changing diet or lifestyle factors such as how we manage stress or how much we are moving.

Research has also suggested that women who suffer from PMS are more at risk of experiencing worse menopause symptoms when the time comes, including a greater prevalence of symptoms such as hot flushes, low mood, poor sleep, or a loss of libido. (1)
