“…During the late luteal phase, i.e., the premenstrual phase (PM), a systematic review reported a pooled prevalence of 51.3% of premenstrual syndrome in female students, with various reported self-perceived symptoms such as cyclic mood disorders, somatic or affective disorders, and severe fatigue ( Maity et al, 2022 ). This prevalence varies from 32% to 95%, with a majority of studies conducted outside Europe ( Yamamoto et al, 2009 ; Pinar et al, 2011 ; Hamaideh et al, 2014 ; Tolossa and Bekele, 2014 ; Romito et al, 2017 ; Bhuvaneswari et al, 2019 ; Hashim et al, 2019 ; Maity et al, 2022 ). Always among female students, 72.7% report dysmenorrhea, i.e., painful menstrual cramps and other associated symptoms (low back pain, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, or nausea) during the early follicular phase, occurring the first days of menses (ME) ( De Sanctis et al, 2016 ).…”
