The lives of women are characterized by honor and numerous responsibilities, including navigating biological complexities and cultural dynamics. Adjusting daily routines to accommodate menstruation is crucial. This study examines premenstrual syndrome (PMS), menstrual attitude (MA), and quality of life (QoL) for women, aiming to understand their experiences and perspectives on the menstrual cycle. Conducted with 124 female participants aged 18 to 35 in Dehradun, it highlights the significant challenges posed by PMS and MA, particularly for working women and college students, compared to men. Addressing these challenges empowers women and enhances their community.
