“…The prevalence was higher than study done in United Kingdom Southampton Of the women surveyed, 24% were considered to have premenstrual symptoms (95% confidence interval, the possible reason might be the difference of instruments used to assess premenstrual syndrome ,this might also be due to the different study design and sample size North Showa, Amhara Region, Ethiopia used (14).…”

PMS or premenstrual syndrome is a condition that manifests as emotional, physical and behavioral symptoms and affects women between their late 20's to early 40's. The condition is marked by the symptoms 5 to 10 days prior to beginning of the period and symptoms resolve once the period begins or within 4 to 7 days. PMS is a relatively common condition and almost 75% women suffer from this condition at some point in their lives. Sometimes mood swings, behavioural changes and physical symptoms may be severe enough to affect normal life. Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome and associated factors among Debrebirhan Town, North Showa, and Amhara Region, Ethiopia. Methods: a community based cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted among Debrebirhan residence. A pre-tested structured and semi structured face to face interview questionnaire was used. Data was collected from September to November, 2013 after obtaining verbal consent from the respondent. Data entry was performed by using SPPSS version 20 and analysis using logistic regression and odd ratio. Results: A total of 321 participants 41.12 % were premenstrual syndrome. Premenstrual syndrome was associated with Income less than 400 birr (AOR=2.766(1.290, 5.927)) is associated with PMS. Those with income less than 400birrs are 2.766times more likely to PMS than those who have income greater than 700birr. Income between 400-700birr (AOR=2.684(1.155, 6.236)) is associated with PMS. Those with income between 400-700birr are 2.684times more likely to PMS than their have income greater than 700birr. Previous history of depression is (AOR=1.843(1.110, 3.059)) is associated with depression. Those with Previous history of depression are 1.843times likely to develop PMS than those who have not previous history of depression. Continuous follow up in hospital (AOR=13.915(1.471, 131.674)) is associated with PMS, those with Continuous follow up in hospital are 13.915times likely to develop PMS than those who have not continuous follow up in hospital. Conclusion and recommendation: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome among Debrebirhan residence to assess the factors that are associated with PMS. From the findings of this study, it emerged that PMS is high among who participated in the study. For all the sociodemographic factors and related factors that were studied, it emerged from the findings of the study. That continuous follow up in hospital, previous history of depression and low income were statistically associated with scoring Positive to PMS.

“…Women were less likely to have symptoms if they had higher levels of educational attainment and suffered less from stress. No associations were found between premenstrual symptoms and diet, alcohol, or strenuous exercise or after adjustment for other factors, with age, smoking, or body mass index (BMI) (14).…”

“…Mixed results were produced from 13 studies investigating the association between age and PMS/PMDD. Four studies [22,115,122,142] suggested that younger age was related to a higher risk of PMS with an odds ratio of up to two, whilst eight studies failed to detect a significant association [25,110,113,118,120,123,125,126]. The other two multi-country studies among women from Europe and Latin America [111] and Asia [141], revealed a inverse U-shaped effect of age on the intensity of PMS (using a total duration and severity index), with the peak prevalence around age 35 years.…”

“…Very few studies applied the full set of ACOG or DSM-IV criteria, especially the requirement for prospective daily symptom rating, which was used in only five studies [110,114,121,123,126]. Different classification systems and cut-off points were applied in defining the severity of the symptoms in the studies despite similar symptom rating scales, either a 4-or 6-point scale, being used.…”

Background Menstrual irregularity (MI) is common in female athletes and is a component of the Female Athlete Triad (Triad). Many athletes with the Triad are started on hormonal contraceptives (HC) for MI, but this interferes with the ability to monitor menstrual cycle regularity and can mask other causes of MI. There are limited studies investigating the relationship between MI, HC use, and injury in female collegiate athletes. Objective To examine the prevalence of and relationship between HC use, MI, and bone stress injuries in female collegiate athletes in the United States. Design Cross‐sectional study. Setting Online survey. Participants 1020 U.S. female collegiate athletes (age ≥ 18 years). Methods or Interventions Assessment of risk factors for menstrual irregularity and bone stress injuries was conducted via a one‐time survey. Main Outcome Measures HC use, MI, history of stress fractures. Results Current HC use prevalence was 65% (95% confidence interval [CI], 61.9%, 67.8%). Of all athletes, 47% reported past MI. Of the athletes who were not currently using HCs, 32% had current MI. Compared with athletes without past MI, more athletes with past MI reported current HC use (73% vs. 57%) and indicated menstrual cycle consistency as the primary reason for use (24% vs. 4%) (P < .001). Additionally, 25% of athletes reported a history of stress fractures, which was associated with lean/aesthetic sports participation (odds ratio [95% CI]: 1.9 [1.4, 2.5]; P < .001) and less oral contraceptive pill (OCP) use (0.7 [0.5, 1.0]; P = .043). Compared with OCPs, injectable HCs were associated with greater odds of a history of stress fractures (4.5[1.6, 12.3]; P = .004). Conclusions HC use was prevalent among this cohort of female collegiate athletes, and almost half of the athletes reported past MI. A goal of menstrual cycle regularity was cited by 24% of athletes as a primary reason to use HCs, which shows that more athlete education is needed to avoid masking MI and the Triad with HCs. Further studies elucidating the relationship between HC use, MI, and sports‐related injury are warranted.
