“…Our study found that 17% of poly cystic ovaries patients had family history of poly cystic ovaries in comparison to singh et al, who found that 43% of participants had a family history of poly cystic ovaries, 22% of participants in a subsequent study by chatterjee et al Had a family history of poly cystic ovaries. This difference may be related to the fact that chatterjee et al Used a very small sample size (18-20 years) and a very narrow age range (18-20 years) for data collection [20,22]. 19% of the girls had knowledge of poly cystic ovaries, which is comparable to the awareness rates reported in studies by singh et al And gupta et al (13.40% and 21.60%, respectively) and other researchers [3,23].…”

Background: The most prevalent endocrine illness in women of reproductive age is polycystic ovarian disease. In this study, girls between the ages of 18 and 30 who were vesiting the maternity hospital refer in King Saud, Saudi Arabia, will be assessed for poly cystic ovaries prevalence and risk factors. Methods: There were 1080 participants in this study, representing all outpatient visits over the chosen period (Jul 2022 to Jan 2023). They were required to answer questions about their menstrual cycle and the symptoms of hyperandrogenism on a questionnaire. Weight, height, waist, and hip circumferences were measured anthropometrically. Blood pressure was measured. A girl who exhibits either hirsutism or irregular menstruation, or both, was considered a probable case. All of the likely instances were required to undergo thorough examinations, hormone estimations, and ovarian ultrasounds. Results: Among the 1080 girls, 191 (17.6%) had irregular menstrual cycles, and 75 (6.9%) had hirsutism. According to Rotterdam's criteria, the prevalence of polycystic ovaries was found to be 18.9% after hormonal testing and ultrasound. The non-vegetarian diet, socioeconomic level I and II, snacking, obesity, insufficient physical activity, prehypertension, hypertension, central obesity, and self-reported emotional health issues in girls, and poly cystic ovaries in the family, were found to be substantially linked with polycystic ovaries. Conclusion: To lessen poly cystic ovaries and associated problems in females, early lifestyle change and health education were necessary.

“…However, Bhattacharya et al 30 suggested that WH-ratio can be a better index for PCOS than BMI. A higher waist and hip circumference were observed among the PCOS females than their non-PCOS females, WHr appeared to be significantly higher among the PCOS group 18 . Increased WHr was associated with periodic blood loss only whereas increased Waist-to-height ratio was associated with abnormal cycle length and period duration, but not menstrual blood loss 25 .…”

“…It was observed that the prevalence of Dysmenorrhea, Premenstrual Symptoms and irregular menstrual cycles were 71.2%, 70.2% and 14.8% respectively among young adult women 22 whereas that of Dysmenorrhea and Menorrhagia were 45% and 17% respectively among other adult women 23 . In West Bengal, a prospective single-centre study reported the percentage of PCOS patients was 75.47% among the age group of 13 to 45 years 24 whereas a college-based survey reported that 28% of the respondents were at risk of developing PCOS 18 . In our study, the prevalence of menstrual disorders (PCOS and/or Dysmenorrhea) was about 28.78% among adolescents and young women.…”

“…Among the most discussed risk factors for menstrual disorders, BMI and WH-ratio are often the top-ranked. It has been found that women with PCOS had a higher BMI than control women 13 , 18 . Other findings revealed that a proportion of women with menstrual disorders have significantly higher BMI (overweight and obese) than normal women 10 and the increase in BMI is associated with abnormality in menstrual cycle length, period duration, and blood loss 25 .…”

“…The total sample size was calculated using Cochran’s formula Z 2 P (1−P)/d 2 , assuming the prevalence of PCOS as 28% 18 and the attrition of the subjects at any stage of the study due to unavoidable reasons of 5%, a possible error was also taken. As per the calculation, a minimum of 310 sample size should be considered for the study to achieve the power of 80%, while approximately 2000 sample size was initially targeted for the present study.…”

Menstruation is a natural phenomenon for every female, starting from adolescents to menopausal age. Any disturbances in menstrual patterns can eventually affect one’s physical as well as psychological health which in turn hamper the quality of life of women. Several factors including genetic predisposition as well as lifestyle modifications adversely affect normal menstrual patterns. Hence, this study aims to evaluate the prevalence of menstrual disorders among adolescents and young women as well as the associated risk factors. A cross-sectional random survey was conducted from January 2020 to January 2022 in various schools and colleges. A structured questionnaire was prepared which include anthropometric details, demographic information, and lifestyle patterns. The data were extracted for further statistical analysis. In the overall study population, the prevalence of PCOS, Dysmenorrhea, Menorrhagia, Polymenorrhea, Hypomenorrhea and the irregular menstrual cycle was found at 14.14%, 15.14%, 6.29%, 3.70%, 5.16% and 44.83% respectively. The mean BMI of the study population was 19.949 ± 4.801 kg/m2 and the mean WHr was 0.872 ± 0.101, indicating a moderate to high risk of metabolic disorder among the study population. Increased BMI, short sleep, and sedentary and vigorous physical activity can contribute to the risk of developing menstrual disorders. Unhealthy food habits are a major risk factor for menstrual disorders. Lifestyle modifications like healthy food habits, sleeping patterns, physical activity, etc. can effectively reduce the risk of menstrual disorders and also cut down the severity of more complex health problems. In-depth biochemical and molecular analysis is required to identify specific biomarkers.
