“…The result of the study showed that the prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea was high (82.6%) among female high school students in Yangon Adventist. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea was higher than the study carried out among Jordan medical students 75.4%, 14 Chinese university students 41.7%, 8 Gondar university students 77.6%, 9 Ghana adolescents 68.1%, 15 Palembang high school students 67.5%. 16 On the other hand, the prevalence of dysmenorrhea was lower than in the study conducted among Turkey university students 90.1%, 17 Swedish adolescents 89%, 7 Kuwait high-school students 85.6%, 18 Indian college girls 84.2%, 19 northern Ghana university students 83.6%.…”

Background: Primary dysmenorrhea is painful menstrual bleeding that occurs in the absence of any underlying pelvic disease. It is the most common gynecological problem among women, especially in teens. Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence and management of primary dysmenorrhea among female high schools in Yangon Adventist Seminary. Method: A descriptive study was carried out among female high school students at Yangon Adventist Seminary. 69 students participated voluntarily in this study, which was selected using a purposive sampling method. The questionnaire was distributed through a google form, and data collection was from august 21 2022 to 23 August 2022. Results: The mean age of the participants was 16.19 years with a standard deviation + of 1.19 years. The prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea was 82.6%. The methods used by respondents to relieve menstrual pain were taking medication prescribed by the doctor 93%, self-medication 96.5%, applying heating pads or compress 98.2%, tea or herbs 96.5%, bed rest 98.2%, traditional medicine 5.3%, consuming hot fluids 7% and wine 3.5%. Conclusion: The prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea was high. Bed rest and applying heating pads or compresses were the most common methods used by the respondents to relieve menstrual pain.

“…However, a study found that 49.4% of students do nothing, this figure is a bit higher compared to the current study findings where 30.6% of students did nothing. The female students' academic performance and university related duties might be undesirably affected by PMS [24].…”

“…The current findings revealed that backpain, breast tenderness, abdominal bloating, acne, restlessness, anxiety, and irritability were the most common symptoms reported to be experienced by the students. Similarly, in a study conducted in Jordan on 594 medical students, it was found that the majority of students experienced breast tenderness, bloating, nervousness, anxiety and mood swings to a moderate level [24]. Likewise, other studies found that breast tenderness, abdominal bloating and headache were the most common symptoms reported by students [25,26].…”

Background and objectives: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is fairly high and may interfere with personal and social activities. The current study aims to identify the frequency of experiencing PMS symptoms among students, assess their knowledge and attitude towards PMS and identify their perception of whether PMS has an impact on the academic lives of female university students. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was applied to the current study. An online survey using Google form was conducted among female university students at the College of Nursing/Hawler Medical University. A total of 222 students participated in the current study. A questionnaire was designed to assess PMS symptoms using the criteria of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, students’ knowledge and attitude towards PMS, the impact of PMS on daily living activity and academic performance, and self-management options. Results: The mean age (+Standard deviation) of the students was 20.77 (+1.876) years and the mean for calculated BMI of students was 22.42kg/m2. The majority of students (70.3%) had regular menstrual cycle with 86% of them having moderate amount of menstrual blood flow. More than half (53.6%) of students responded that they experience PMS, and 34.7% responded that they do not experience PMS. More than half (52.3%) of students obtained good knowledge score and positive attitude towards PMS. Around three quarters (70.3%) of the students responded that PMS disturbs normal routine. Getting plenty of sleep (75.2%), taking hot drinks (72.1%), and applying hot pack (59.5) were among the commonest ways of PMS self-management by students. The data demonstrated no statistically significant association between students’ knowledge score and their stage of study, family history of PMS, regularity of menstruation, experiencing PMS, and knowing about PMS. Conclusion: A considerable number of students obtained good knowledge score about PMS, however, their actual knowledge of PMS experience might be

“…Several estrogen receptors (ER) have been found in skeletal muscle, including the membrane-bound GPER and nuclear-type ER-α/β, both of which are activated upon binding with estrogen molecules [1][2][3][4][5]. During or before menstruation, when blood estrogen levels decrease, many women frequently experience increased fatigue and diminished energy levels [6,7]. Additionally, estrogen deficiency, often seen in menopausal women, has been linked to a range of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders, such as sarcopenia, 2 of 16 osteoporosis, frailty, obesity, dementia, atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes, with reported benefits when endogenous estrogen levels rise or exogenous estrogen is supplemented [2,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

The natural variation in estrogen secretion throughout the female menstrual cycle impacts various organs, including estrogen receptor (ER)-expressed skeletal muscle. Many women commonly experience increased fatigue or reduced energy levels in the days leading up to and during menstruation, when blood estrogen levels decline. Yet, it remains unclear whether endogenous 17β-estradiol, a major estrogen component, directly affects the energy metabolism in skeletal muscle due to the intricate and fluctuating nature of female hormones. In this study, we employed 2D 31P FID-MRSI at 7T to investigate phosphoryl metabolites in the soleus muscle of a cohort of young females (average age: 28 ± 6 years, n = 7) during the early follicular (EF) and peri-ovulation (PO) phases, when their blood 17β-estradiol levels differ significantly (EF: 28 ± 18 pg/mL vs. PO: 71 ± 30 pg/mL, p < 0.05), while the levels of other potentially interfering hormones remain relatively invariant. Our findings reveal a reduction in ATP-referenced phosphocreatine (PCr) levels in the EF phase compared to the PO phase for all participants (5.4 ± 4.3%). Furthermore, we observe a linear correlation between muscle PCr levels and blood 17β-estradiol concentrations (r = 0.64, p = 0.014). Conversely, inorganic phosphate Pi and phospholipid metabolite GPC levels remain independent of 17β-estradiol but display a high correlation between the EF and PO phases (p = 0.015 for Pi and p = 0.0008 for GPC). The robust association we have identified between ATP-referenced PCr and 17β-estradiol suggests that 17β-estradiol plays a modulatory role in the energy metabolism of skeletal muscle.
