This pandemic has resulted in many changes, one of which is online learning. This change causes increased stress on students. In women, stress is one of the factors causing the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Women who experience PMS and PMDD will interfere with daily activities and interfere with social relationships. The occurrence of PMS and PMDD will reduce the quality of life of adolescents and will result in disrupted learning processes, so we need to know whether the pandemic affects the increase in PMS and PMDD so that we can determine preventive measures. This needs to be done considering that this pandemic will continue and we need to adapt to these changes. This study aims to see if there is a difference in the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric disorder before and after the pandemic occurs and to find out what factors can influence it.This study will use quantitative research methods with a cross sectional approach.
