Summary
Excessive stress significantly impacts adolescent girls, causing menstrual cycle disorders in 65.8%. Early intervention for psycho-emotional and metabolic issues is crucial for reproductive health.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Health
- Adolescent Medicine
- Psychoneuroendocrinology
Background:
- Adolescent girls in stressful environments, such as war zones or displacement, face unique health challenges.
- Menstrual cycle irregularities are a common concern, potentially linked to psychological and physiological stressors.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate menstrual cycle disorders in adolescent girls experiencing excessive stress.
- To develop evidence-based interventions for correcting these disorders.
Main Methods:
- Examined 120 girls aged 9-18 from war zones or refugee backgrounds.
- Utilized anamnesis, psycho-emotional assessment, anthropometry, and laboratory/instrumental studies.
Main Results:
- 65.8% of participants experienced menstrual cycle disorders, including dysmenorrhea (45.6%), excessive menstruation (27.8%), and secondary amenorrhea (26.6%).
- 71.7% reported changes in eating behavior, with 45.3% of those exhibiting dyshormonal issues or metabolic syndrome criteria.
Conclusions:
- Addressing psycho-emotional and metabolic disturbances in adolescent girls under stress is vital.
- Timely detection and correction can prevent long-term menstrual and reproductive dysfunction.

01:24Disorders of the Female Reproductive System
419
The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...

01:22Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
464
The ovarian cycle regulates endometrial changes throughout a single menstrual cycle via the coordinated action of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and gonadotrophins.
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH...

01:18Menses Phase
320
The uterine cycle begins with the menstrual phase, which is considered day one of the cycle and typically lasts about five days. This phase is characterized by the degeneration and shedding of the stratum functionalis, the functional layer of the endometrium.
When fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum deteriorates, causing a significant drop in the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body. This hormonal decrease triggers the release of prostaglandins, which cause the uterine...

01:19The Menstrual Cycle
944
The menstrual cycle is a recurrent sequence of changes in the uterine endometrium, specifically its functional layer, the stratum functionalis. This cycle prepares the uterus for potential pregnancy. This cycle typically spans 21–35 days, averaging 28 days, and aligns with the ovarian cycle, regulated by fluctuating levels of ovarian hormones, primarily estrogen and progesterone.
The menstrual phase occurs from days 1 to 5 and involves the shedding of the stratum functionalis, as a...

01:28Anorexia Nervosa
155
Anorexia nervosa is a complex and severe eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of weight gain, an unrelenting pursuit of thinness, and a distorted body image. It often leads to dangerously low body weight relative to an individual's age and height. This disorder is marked by significant physical and psychological consequences, making it one of the most life-threatening psychiatric illnesses.

146
Panic disorder is an anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent and sudden minutes-long episodes of intense fear, known as panic attacks. These attacks may feel like heart attacks and often happen without warning or a specific cause. They can include symptoms such as rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, chest pain, trembling, sweating, dizziness, and a sense of helplessness. During a panic attack, individuals may feel as though they are experiencing a heart attack or are in a...
