{Abstract}: Many asthmatic women of childbearing age experience cyclical aggravation of asthmatic symptoms during the perimenstrual period, or perimenstrual asthma (PMA). PMA is considered to be a difficult-to-treat asthma phenotype; conventional asthma therapies are not always effective against PMA.<BR>We report a case of a 27-year-old female with PMA who had received standard asthma treatment since 2013.<BR>The patient showed a dramatic response to therapeutic intervention of oral prednisone, taken for 7 days prior to menstruation each month, in a dose-dependent manner.<BR>Premenstrual treatment with oral prednisone may be a successful new direction for the treatment of PMA, a troublesome type of asthma.
