Prevalence Of Dysmenorrhea Research Articles

Original Research Article Analysis of Factors Influencing the Incidence of Dysmenorrhea

Globally, the prevalence of dysmenorrhea in women is still high. Dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls that is not treated can interfere with daily activities and learning activities. Therefore, adolescents need to learn and understand the factors that affect dysmenorrhea. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the incidence of dysmenorrhea. This study was case control in design. The study included 300 participants, 120 of whom were selected using the purposive sampling technique from among the adolescent girls in the Muzamzamah Chosyi'ah Dormitory of Darul 'Ulum Islamic Boarding School. A questionnaire was employed as the research tool. At a significance level of α <0.05, the data were analyzed using the chi-square test and logistic regression. The results of the analysis test showed that there was no effect of menarche age and the number of menstrual flow on the incidence of dysmenorrhea (p>0.05). The incidence of dysmenorrhea was influenced (p<0.05) by the menstrual cycle, duration of menstruation, family history, and BMI. The dominant factor influencing the incidence of dysmenorrhea was family history (p=0.000; Exp(B): 129.98). Family history of dysmenorrhea has a greater potential for the occurrence of dysmenorrhea because it is related to genetic factors that pass on traits to their offspring. It is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle such as exercising regularly, fulfilling balanced nutritional needs, and maintaining ideal body weight.

A Study on Dysmenorrhea and Its Self-Care Behaviors Among Women of Reproductive Age in Tiruvallur District, Tamil Nadu.

Menstrual cramps, which can be categorized as primary or secondary depending on the etiology, are a painful feature of dysmenorrhea.Researchers from throughout the country found that self-care practices for dysmenorrhea included reducing physical activity, adjusting diet, medications, or treatments, adopting alternative therapies, recording symptom clusters of discomforts, and expressing feelings. Methodology:There were 246 women in the reproductive age range who took part in this study. Thiruvallur district's Thirumazhisai town panchayat served as the location of a community-based cross-sectional study.Parameters such as menstrual history, food history, self-care techniques during dysmenorrhea, and sociodemographic information were evaluated using a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea was found to be 71.54%. Among 47.15% of the participants, 75.8% who were married were found to have dysmenorrhea, whereas 67.7% of the 52.54% participants who were unmarried had dysmenorrhea. The association between age, smoking habits, exercise, and the presence of dysmenorrhea was found to be statistically significant. Women, especially in India, have certain taboos and misconceptions associated with menstruation which can hurt their hygiene and self-care practices. This study highlights the need for menstrual hygiene awareness among women and proper self-care methods to be followed.

Food craving, vitamin A, and menstrual disorders: A comprehensive study on university female students.

Menstrual disorders, influenced by dietary habits like high fat intake and low fruit and vegetable consumption, are a global public health issue. This study assessed the prevalence of dysmenorrhea, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and irregular menstrual cycle (IMC) among female university students in Bangladesh, focusing on food cravings and low vitamin A intake as risk factors. In this comprehensive study, data from randomly selected female university students were collected using a structured questionnaire. The associations were analyzed through chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression, reported as adjusted odds ratios (AOR). The most prevalent menstrual disorder was dysmenorrhea (68.3%) followed by PMS (33.8%), and IMC (24.3%). Food cravers for high-fat and sweet foods were likely to experience dysmenorrhea (AOR: 2.4, 95% CI: 1.5-3.9, P<0.001), suffer from PMS (AOR: 3.9, 95% CI: 2.3-6.6, P<0.001), and have IMC (AOR: 3.0, 95% CI: 1.6-5.3, P<0.001) vs. subjects who didn't. Subjects consuming vitamin A-rich plant foods had 40% (AOR: 0.6, 95% CI: 0.4-0.9, P < 0.01) and 60% (AOR: 0.4, 95% CI: 0.2-0.6, P<0.001) less likely suffering from dysmenorrhea and IMC vs. who didn't. Both underweight and overweight/obese subjects experienced more than 2-fold dysmenorrhea vs. normal-weight peers. The chance of IMC was nearly 3-fold among overweight/obese subjects. However, lower physical activity was associated with PMS and IMC whereas family history was associated with dysmenorrhea and PMS. Among the socio-demographic factors, maternal education, place of residence, and earlier menarche (≤12 years) were associated with dysmenorrhea while marital status was associated with IMC. This study indicates that increasing the intake of vitamin A-rich plant foods and reducing high-fat, sweet foods can lower the risk of dysmenorrhea and IMC. Additionally, it highlights the need for regular exercise to mitigate the increased risk of PMS and IMC.

Dysmenorrhea and Its Impact on Patients' Quality of Life-A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Dysmenorrhea is a common condition that may have negative effects on social life, couples' relationships and professional activities. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the prevalence, risk factors and characteristics of dysmenorrhea and its impact on patients' quality of life using a specific self-questionnaire named "DysmenQoL questionnaire". We also checked the validity and reliability of this questionnaire in our population. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study that included 504 participants of reproductive age between 18 and 45 years of age. The data were collected with an original form divided into three sections. The last section (DysmenQoL questionnaire) included 20 statements scored from 1 ("never") to 5 ("every time") that evaluates the effects of menstrual pain on health and feelings, daily activities, relationships and professional activity. We calculated the sum of the scores for each statement and we called it the "DysmenQoL score". Results: The prevalence of dysmenorrhea was 83.7%. The presence of dysmenorrhea was statistically significant associated with the degree of menstrual bleeding (p = 0.017), the presence of infertility (p = 0.034) and dyspareunia (p = 0.002), but also with the presence of premenstrual syndrome and a family history of dysmenorrhea (p < 0.001). Among the participants with dysmenorrhea, 73.9% considered that this symptom affected their quality of life, and this was correlated with pain intensity and the DysmenQoL score (p < 0.001). A significant difference regarding the DysmenQoL score depending on the pain intensity, frequency and duration of dysmenorrhea and the methods used to reduce the pain was observed. Conclusions: Dysmenorrhea had a high prevalence among the participants included in the study, and its presence was associated with a series of risk factors. Most women considered that dysmenorrhea affected their quality of life. The DysmenQoL questionnaire proved to be a reliable and valid method for evaluating the impact of dysmenorrhea on quality of life.

Functional Ovulatory Menstrual Health Literacy Amongst Adolescent Females in Western Australia

Study objectiveTo assess the knowledge of ovulation and menstruation of adolescent females in Western Australia. MethodsA validated adolescent ovulatory menstrual health literacy questionnaire was used in a cross-sectional study, which included an open-response question inviting participants’ reflections. ResultsParticipants (n=297) were from two single sex and seven co-educational schools of varied socio-educational advantage. Mean chronological age was 15 years and mean gynaecological age was two years. The prevalence of dysmenorrhoea was 69%. Primary sources of information included mothers (91%), friends (61%) and, for post-menarcheal participants (n=274), mobile applications (52%). Most adolescents enjoyed finding out information about ovulatory menstrual health, and understood the information given to them. However, participants’ knowledge of ovulation, menstruation and their occurrence in the cycle were low. Attendance at a single sex or Catholic school or use of mobile applications did not confer a knowledge advantage overall (p<0.05), except for knowing the meaning of cervical mucus. Thematic content analysis of open-ended responses resulted in five themes, including normality, menstrual flow, charting, ovulation and dysmenorrhoea. ConclusionInadequate functional ovulatory menstrual health literacy hampers progression to acquiring complete health literacy. This has negative implications for progressing towards the interactive and critical ovulatory menstrual health literacy domains, which include providing an accurate menstrual history when engaging with healthcare providers.
