Abstract
The prevalence of dysmenorrhea was 73% among the 17-25 year students in the present study. • Dysmenorrhea often associated with limitation in daily activities, and the affected students expressed poor satisfication with their academic performance during the periods when they exhibited the symptoms. • Researchers and health care providers should consider about the primary dysmenorrhea as a highly prevalent gynaecological complaint and intervention studies give due attention to the factors to reduce the intensity of pain. • It would also seem that if mothers family history significantly affects the intensity of primary dysmenorrhea, certain amount of reassurance on the part of the mothers can go a long way in helping their daughters cope with the discomforts that accompany primary dysmenorrhea. • The short sleeping hours, skipping breakfast and may associated life style factors are the risk factors for dysmenorrhea. • Therefore, strategies should be designed for early detection of the problems and management through change in students life style like promoting regular physical exercise reduced negative effect of the primary dysmenorrhea. It is concluded that developing educational programs for effective dysmenorrhea management to decrease symptoms would be beneficial for female students and may improve their study performance and social relationship. LIMITATIONS • The study was conducted in a small group. Because menstruation-related problems are a considered as ‘taboo’ in our study population. This results of which were evaluated according to the students self reports. • Therefore, the results of the study cannot be generalized. However it is thought that it will be source for prospective studies associated with dysmenorrhea. • We also could not discrimate between primary and secondary dysmenorrhea, so pain related to periods was considered as a whole. • Women were randomly selected, but some did not complete the questionnaire. This may have had an impact on the reported prevalence of the diseases.
