Abstract :
Background: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) refers to a set of physical,
psychological or behavioral symptoms occurring in ovulation cycles,
which in some ways disturbs a person's activities. The aim of study was
to investigate the relationship between previous use of contraceptive
pills and psychological symptoms of PMS.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among all female
students of Shahroud university of medical sciences. Samples were
selected by simple census and were provided a standard questionnaire
for measuring the PMS. Significant level was set at 0.05.

depression (Pvalue = 0.039), sadness (Pvalue = 0.012), sobering up
(Pvalue = 0.003) and anger (Pvalue = 0.032).
