Abstract
145 college-aged women completed The Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire dealing with menstrual subtype (congestive or spasmodic), life stress, age, and menstrual severity. Spasmodic-typed women seemed to report significantly greater severity following recent (within one month) life stress but the expected dichotomous split between congestive and spasmodic dysmenorrhea was not noted. It appears that women scoring clearly spasmodic respond differentially to recent life stress. Psychological stress may trigger prostaglandin production in spasmodic women or stress may contribute to uterine muscular tension.
