The best "app" for that, is to have sex twice a day, for the duration. Her male colleagues might have offered her some help with that. I call this, "Old Dr. Mac's Root Remedy" (paraphrasing my old Army buddy, Cpl. Presley B. Hornsby).
Sex is not a cure for hormonal imbalance. A disgusting suggestion, esp since it harkens back to the "rape is inevitable, so you might as well enjoy it" days.
Taking hormones (like birth control pills) helps with hormonal imbalance, obviously.
This happens esp when women are pregnant (hormone imbalance). This happens again in menopause (hot flashes, emotional roller coaster), and hormones are the cure for that.
I find that men are just as emotional, but they exhibit it differently, and it's more accepted. Physical fights between men, yelling, beating up women and children, fast driving....all the product of out of control hormones.
Does anyone think that Donald Trump, who is prone to emotional outbursts and anger at others, is suffering with hormonal imbalance? Or is it perhaps more accepted coming from a male? I think that's at least part of it.
Our country has a history of considering any emotional outbursts or show of anger to be the result of histrionics or hormonal imbalance. The country even institutionalized some women for "histrionics" for what was probably hormone imbalance. This has always been a way that men "put women in their place" and try to show that women are not worthy of being listened to. Because they're on their periods and ranting or out of control, according to them.
OTOH, I've run into guys who generally have bad attitudes about women, and come across poorly in interactions. So when women push back, the guys dismiss it as PMS. They claim all women have this problem, which isn't true at all. They're using it as a cover for their own Neanderthal attitudes/behaviors that rile women, which they are clueless about.
That's right. This is just more Sexist behavior with an assumption that women are all the same and that there being any reaction or a difference of opinion by one must be due to it being "that time of the month", having become a cliche'. Just because something can emotionally erupt between a man and woman at any time doesn't mean PMS is responsible.
Also, it has been said that women working closely together can end up on the same cycle, which means women working in close proximity to each other would then be affected and all be PMS-ing at the same time. Does this mean that men in the workplace would then be avoiding ALL the women during this time each month?
actually, you know why women have pms? It's because their estrogen levels are low right before a period, so in essence, a woman's emotions before her period are closer to being male than at any other time. ironic, isn't it? Men blame women for being argumentative or hysterical, when the reality is, that is when they are most likely to be behaving like men.

Permian. Ingesting pregnant mare urine and slaughtering foals! Yeah.
While sex does not cure hormonal imbalance it can help to alleviate some symptoms of PMS. Sex triggers production of Oxytocin and endorphins that reduce pain and releases DHEA which acts as an anti depressant.
I think some of the comments in here are way more sexist then taking note of when a woman might be hormonal if she has a hard time managing those symptoms. I still think emailing it to other men took it too far.
I always had a hard time with my period very irritable and then heavy bleeding however I always tried to remember the saying "your mood should not dictate your manners". No reason for me to take it out on everyone around me especially at work, I'm a teacher of young children why in the world should they be the victims of my bad mood?
At home i wasn't as kind but still tried not to go into crazy mode.
Not directly related but because I work nights and my body/sleep/whatever is all out of whack, when I am out of sorts I am VERY cranky. When I feel my husband pushing my buttons, even though on another day it might not bother me, I straight up tell him, "Listen, I am really cranky today. Don't push my buttons!"
It works well for us. I have no problem telling my fellow coworkers as well. But we're a close bunch.
