Me [34 M] suspects my fiance [33 F] is suffering from PMDD - Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. How should I ask her to get evaluated?

This is a throw-away account.

A week before her period, my fiance gets unbelievably anxious and antagonistic about the most minute things during the week before her period. I once forgot to buy something off of her shopping list I was entrusted with, and she would just berate me for days.

Once her period starts, she is an absolute angel. She is extremely supportive and bubbly, loving and caring. It just seems like she turns into a different person overnight a week or so before her period. She did tell me how she suffers from "hormonal imbalance" before her period, but she never referred to her condition as PMDD - Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. Doing some research online and looking closely at symptoms for this disorder, I am close to convinced my fiance suffers from it (though I won't say she must be until professional diagnosis)

We're currently going through "the week," and it's really tearing me apart. I cannot bear being rejected and treated so harshly by the person I love for the most every month. I want - no - need her to get evaluated.

How do I kindly and lovingly ask her to get checked by professionals? Should I sit her down asap, or should I wait until she starts her period? How should I bring it up?

Thanks for your help.

TLDR: I want to ask my fiance to get evaluated for a mental disorder. How should I bring it up?
