Pain syndrome (VAS, McGill Pain Questionnaire), anxiety-depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)), quality of life indicators (SF-36) were assessed before and after one year of treatment in female patients (dienogest administered continuously, NSAIDs and drotaverine for immediate pain relief only).Results. One year of therapy resulted in a significant decrease in the severity of dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain, gastrointestinal symptoms and dysuria, daily activity and productivity impairment (p < 0.001) in girls with PE. In addition, the study demonstrated decreased indicators of anxiety and depressive disorders (BDI depression, HADS anxiety and depression, STAI reactive and personal anxiety (p < 0.001)) and an improvement in quality-of-life indicators (physical and psychological component, average index (p < 0.001)). There was a declining trend in blood hormone and inflammation test results within the reference range during treatment. The estradiol level has been shown to be a risk factor for high levels of affective disorder symptoms in adolescents with PE: STAI reactive anxiety (p = 0.046), HADS anxiety and depression (p = 0.044 and 0.033, respectively).Conclusion.

Effects of sleep pattern, duration, and quality on premenstrual syndrome and primary dysmenorrhea in korean high school girls

The aim of this study was to investigate whether sleep pattern, duration, and quality independently affect premenstrual syndrome and primary dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls. An additional purpose was to investigate the sleep status in Korean adolescent girls during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsA cross-sectional survey study was conducted in 519 high school girls aged 15 to 18 years in Gyeonggido, South Korea, in 2021 during the COVID-19 lockdown. Menstrual pain intensity and menstrual symptoms were assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS) and Cox menstrual symptom scale (CMSS), respectively. Premenstrual syndrome was assessed by the premenstrual symptoms screening tool (PSST). Sleep was assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The known risk factors of dysmenorrhea, including menstrual and lifestyle characteristics and stress, were assessed as covariates.ResultsDuring the pandemic, approximately 68% of girls slept 7 h or less, while about 60% reported poor sleep quality. Additionally, 64% of participants had a bedtime later after 1AM, and 34% woke up later after 8AM. Late bedtime significantly affected VAS (P = 0.05), CMSS severity and frequency (both P < 0.01), and PSST symptom (P < 0.01). Waking up late affected CMSS severity (P < 0.05), PSST symptom (P = 0.05), and PSST function (P < 0.05). However, the significance of these effects disappeared after controlling for covariates. Sleeping less than 5 h affected CMSS frequency (P < 0.05) and PSST symptoms (P < 0.001). After controlling for covariates, the significance of the effect on PSST symptom remained (P < 0.05). General sleep quality and PSQI components, including subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep disturbance, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction, significantly affected CMSS frequency and severity and PSST symptom after controlling for covariates (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, or P < 0.001). The multiple regression analysis revealed that among sleep characteristics, sleep quality was the most important risk factor of premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea.ConclusionOur study result heightens the importance of healthy sleep hygiene, especially sleep quality in the management of premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls.
