    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Adolescent Medicine
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Menstrual patterns, including pain and tension, significantly impact adolescent well-being and performance.
    • Understanding the prevalence and progression of menstrual symptoms is vital for timely intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence and progression of dysmenorrhea and premenstrual tension in adolescent girls.
    • To explore the correlation of these symptoms between mothers and daughters.
    • To assess the socio-medical aspects of menstrual patterns in adult women.

    Main Methods:

    • Three distinct investigations were conducted, involving 5458 adolescent girls (aged 10-20), 331 girls (aged 13-20), and 865 adult women.
    • Data collection focused on menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), premenstrual tension, and school absence due to pain.

  • Statistical analysis was employed to identify correlations and trends.

    • Main Results:

    • Dysmenorrhea incidence rose from 7.2% in the first gynecological year to 26% five years later among adolescent girls.
    • School absence due to menstrual pain reached 23.4%, with dysmenorrhea frequency increasing from 36% to 56.5% between ages 13-14 and 17-20.
    • A significant mother-daughter correlation for dysmenorrhea and premenstrual tension was observed, alongside 88% prevalence of premenstrual tension and 45% menstrual pain in adult women.

    Conclusions:

    • Menstrual distress is a significant issue for adolescent girls, with symptoms worsening over time.
    • The findings highlight the importance of addressing menstrual pain and premenstrual tension during adolescence.
    • Pharmacological interventions, such as prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors, may offer effective relief for menstrual distress.
