Although the underlying cause of PCS is thought to be hormonal factors related to progesterone and estrogen, its etiology has not been fully elucidated and is thought to be multifactorial.GnRH analogues and medroxyprogesterone, which have side effects such as menstrual irregularity, osteoporosis and weight gain, were previously used in the medical treatment of PCS.
