“…It appears that the judges gave precedence to medical advice. Similarly in the literature, the majority of authors with a medical background favour menstrual elimination for this group of women (e.g., Abbro, 1984;Kauritz, Thomson, & Kauritz, 1986;Perrin et al, 1976;Roxburgh & West, 1973;Vining & Freeman, 1978;Wheeless, 1975). However, some authors from the medical profession do not favour hysterectomy for menstrual management for young women (Crain, 1980;Sassaman & Mulick, 1980;West, 1977).…”

“…So far, efforts to address the inability of women with IDs in taking care of themselves during menstruation is more focused on delivering medical procedures such as hysterectomy (Rodgers, Lipcombe, & Santer, 2006;Rodgers & Lipcombe, 2005;Carlson, 2002;Carlson & Wilson, 1994;Richman, dkk., 1986;Kreutner, 1981;Vitello, 1978,) or the manipulatation of the menstrual cycle through the provision of drugs such as the contraceptive pill (Hamilton, 2011and Lennox, dkk., 2005as cited in Luiselli, 2016Rodgers & Lipcombe, 2005;Roxburgh & West, 1973;Shropshire, Morris, & Foote, 1967) instead of providing more education on procedures for self-care, menstruation management, and cleanliness.…”

Individuals with intellectual disabilities have different needs related to both sexual education and sexual development. This is caused by their significant limitations in intellectual and adaptive functioning. This is especially true for a female, when these limitations raise problems caring for herself during her menstrual period. So far, intervention to address the inability of a female with intellectual disabilities in taking care of themselves during menstruation is more focused on delivering medical procedures or manipulating the menstrual cycle through the provision of drugs such as the contraceptive pill, but these interventions carry a high risk. Therefore, alternative intervention such as psychoeducation is preferable because this intervention has a low risk. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of social stories and video modeling based on social learning theory, and used as an intervention program aimed to improve self-care skills on menstrual care in female adolescent with mild intellectual disabilities. With a single-case study A-B-A design, the mastery of skills on menstrual care were determined using three measures: 1) using a modified menstrual questionnaire; 2) a test on comprehension of self-care skills during menstruation; and 3) a simulation process with two types of sanitary pads (with and without wings) that both were tainted with artificial blood. The result showed: 1) an increase in the score of questionnaires about menstruation; 2) an increase in comprehension on the material; and 3) an increased in behavioral care skills during menstrual period even when the type of sanitary napkins and the bathroom used were different. The intervention program was found to be effective to improve the subject's skills and self-care during a menstrual cycle.

“…Ten papers were identified for final qualitative analysis and extracted characteristics are summarised in Table I. In total, 17 screened papers were excluded for the following reasons: literature review article (n ¼ 2) (Albanese and Hopper, 2017;Jeffery et al, 2013), approach not in line with modern practice (n ¼ 2) (Huovinen, 1993;Kaminer et al, 1988), abstract only (n ¼ 1), (Ibralic et al, 2010), limited relevance for management of PMS (n ¼ 12) (Arvio et al, 2009;Backeljauw et al, 2004;Chou and Lu, 2009;Dickson et al, 2018;Greenwood and Wilkinson, 2013;Kennedy et al, 2014;Pikora et al, 2014;Roxburgh and West, 1973;Sinnema et al, 2011;Tracy et al, 2016;Wilkinson and Ceretto, 2008;Wingfield et al, 1994).…”

Purpose Intellectual disability (ID) is prevalent in 1 per cent of the population. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) affects up to 5 per cent of the general population of adult women. Identification of PMS is challenging in women with ID due to differences in communication. Management of PMS in the ID population requires careful consideration of baseline function, co-existing mental and physical health problems, drug interactions as well as complex ethical considerations. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach Prospero-registered systematic review (CRD42019119398) of papers exploring the diagnosis and management of patients with PMS and ID (n=414). In total, 35 relevant titles were identified and 27 full text papers were assessed for eligibility, resulting in 10 studies for final qualitative analysis. Findings Ten original research papers were included. There are no standardised symptom criteria for diagnosis of PMS in women with ID. Studies relied on observer-reported data. All papers demonstrated higher rates of PMS in women with ID compared with the general adult population. Management was not standardised and varied between centres. Mainstays of treatment included non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, combined oral contraceptive pills and intramuscular progesterone. Newer evidence suggests levonorgestrel intrauterine systems may be appropriate. There was no quantitative method of establishing success of management. Practical implications A modified symptom diary should be used for diagnosis in this population. Differentiation between cyclical behavioural change due to pain vs mood disturbance remains challenging. Conservative, psychological and medical management should be the mainstay of treatment, with surgery considered in exceptional cases. Originality/value This paper demonstrates the current limited evidence for the management of PMS in women with a diagnosis of ID and offers an overview of the current options for managing these patients’ symptoms.
