Abstract
It is estimated that more than half of all women of adolescent age suffer from
Dysmenorrhoea and it often interferes with their daily physical and emotional aspects. It is
the leading cause of short-term school absenteeism and is associated with a negative impact
on academic and daily activities [2].
Objective- To investigate the impacts of Dysmenorrhoea, symptoms associated with it, and
its self-management strategies used by students. It is very important to create awareness
about the causes and treatment of Dysmenorrhoea via the education system and media.
Health professional consultation must be promoted to help students who have
Dysmenorrhoea.
Study design-An explorative survey technique with the help of google forms.
Settings and Participants- 225 female participants of age 15-45 years old (Highest
participants- young women of age 21).
Result- The majority of the participants experienced backache, cramps and preferred to take
naps during Dysmenorrhoea. 43.1% of participants preferred very much to stay at home.
22.2% of participants experienced severe backache and 17.8% had cramps. 11.6% of young
women said to have cramps on the second day. Hence, the most common physical symptom
told by WHO is tallied with the results from the study. According to the data, 38.2% take
medications or other remedies for Dysmenorrhoea whereas 61.7% of participants do not take
any medications or use any other remedies. 34.8% prefer OTC medicines to get relief from
the pain whereas 65.1% prefer natural remedies to overcome the issue.
