“…This rate is higher than a previous study by Carman et al (2018) among adolescents in Turkey (25.9%), and 28.2% among young people in Croatia (Cvetković et al, 2014) and also higher than a report by Vetvik et al (2014) among adult Norwegian women, estimating a rate of 7.6%. This difference may be explained by the fact that our study population are female university students, many of whom live together in university residences or share flats with other girls considering that women who live with other women are more likely to suffer from menstrual migraine (Ferreira, Guilherme, Faria, Borges, & Uchiyama, 2017).…”

“…Thus, numerous definitions exist relating to the need for medication and the inability to function normally [39], menstrual pain during the previous six months [40], or pain which hampers activities of daily living and VAS ≥4 [41]. In addition, some authors use the term dysmenorrhea to include other experiences or symptoms which can appear during menstruation, such as tiredness, feeling depressed, nausea, or headaches [42]. However, in our study, we found that over half of women without dysmenorrhea suffered from bloating and/or irritability and, in a lesser proportion, feelings of fatigue or depression.…”

Absenteeism can clearly have a negative impact on academic performance among university students. Certain experiences or symptoms such as menstrual pain are very common in women and can lead to absenteeism. The current study was aimed at examining the presence of menstrual experiences or symptoms and their impact upon absenteeism among healthy (illness-free) female university nursing students in Spain. A total of 299 students participated in this research, which was a descriptive cross-sectional, observational study. An ad hoc online questionnaire was used based on sociodemographic and gynecological data, together with the noted menstrual experiences; the most prevalent of which were bloating, which affected 87.3% of students; dysmenorrhea and irritability, which affected 76.3%; and fatigue, which affected 70.6%. Students with dysmenorrhea had a 6.95 higher (odds ratio (OR) 6.95; 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.39–14.25) odds of absenteeism; in those who reported dizziness, the odds of absenteeism was 4.82 times higher (OR 4.82; 1.76–13.23); in those who manifested nausea and vomiting, the percentage of absenteeism was 3.51 higher (OR 3.51; 95% CI 1.51–8.15); in those who presented sleep alterations, the odds were 2.95 higher (OR 2.95; 95% CI 1.39–6.25); and for those who felt depressed the odds were 2.18 times higher (OR 2.18; 95% CI 1.21–3.94) Absenteeism was found to be more likely in women with dysmenorrhea. However, in addition, higher odds of absenteeism were also found in women with nausea and vomiting, dizziness, sleep disorders, and those who feel depressed. These menstrual experiences can be considered a relevant problem among young women, leading to absenteeism, and a negative influence on academic performance. It is essential to raise awareness of the socioeconomic impact of absenteeism and establish new strategies for improving menstrual experiences.

“…Com isso, pode-se explicar o porquê a fase prémenstrual é acompanhada do aumento da vulnerabilidade a várias desordens dolorosas. (8,9) No entanto, estímulos nociceptivos vindos da periferia podem gerar reorganização adaptativa para reduzir o impacto da menstruação acompanhada de dor. (17) Estes dados contrariam os resultados desta pesquisa, já que as participantes não apresentaram consideráveis alterações de dor durante a menstruação.…”

Introdução: A menstruação é um acontecimento que marca a vida das mulheres, e seu primeiro episódio, a menarca, representa o início da fase reprodutiva. Alterações pré-menstruais físicas e mentais acometem as mulheres durante sua vida reprodutiva, a fase lútea e os sintomas pré-menstruais estão correlacionados, incluindo cefaleias, cólicas, irritabilidade, diminuição de concentração, depressão e ansiedade. Objetivo: Relacionar os sintomas de dor e cefaleia e alterações na mobilidade cervical com o período menstrual em universitárias jovens. Método: Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo experimental prospectivo que utilizou a Escala Visual Analógica de Dor (VAS) para avaliar a intensidade de dor; Questionário Midas para avaliar a incapacidade devido à cefaleia; Algometria para avaliar o limiar de dor à pressão; Modulação Condicionada da Dor para avaliar as vias inibitórias de dor; Os questionários Start Back Screening Tool para avaliar a presença de fatores psicossociais na dor e o Dizziness Handicap Inventory para avaliar presença de tontura; Escala Tampa para avaliar Cinesiofobia; Questionário Neck Disability Index para avaliar a incapacidade cervical nas AVD's e o Flexion Rotation Test para avaliar a ADM da cervical alta. Resultados: O questionário Midas apresentou um dado crescente de incapacidade leve a moderada, junto com a escala Tampa para Cinesiofobia. Apesar destes resultados, as entrevistadas não apresentaram sinais de tontura, fatores psicossociais, restrição de ADM cervical e nem nociceptivos. Conclusão: Até o momento as jovens avaliadas não demonstraram influência significativa do período menstrual na amplificação do quadro de dor, cefaleia e a possível incapacidade ocasionada pelas mesmas.
