Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysmenorrhoea is the commonest complaint in the female adolescents and affects their regular activities. It is the leading cause of absenteeism from work place, school and college, limitation on social and sports activities among that population. In some places government provided 2 days special leave for women employees. But they rarely use it for this purpose. In Bihar also, Bihar state government provided 2 days special leave for women. In this study, 200 females were selected. All participants were given a questionnaire to complete in 20 minutes. They were advised not to write their name or sign and was assured that their response would remain confidential. Maximum participants do not seek medical aid and self-treat themselves with drugs or some other means as advised by their mothers or some close female relatives or friends on traditional faith with no knowledge of scientific basis of dysmenorrhoea. They do not know even anatomy and physiology of female genital organs. They do not know about the mechanism of menstruation. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a prospective observational study. The study was conducted in Gaya, Bihar. 200 unmarried, nulliparous healthy females of 17 to 25 years were selected for this study on random basis. Sample size was done at convenience. They were informed that this is a study to know the prevalence of dysmenorrhoea in our area and know mode of treatment adopted by them and try to improve treatment. RESULTS In our study 200 women between age group of 17 - 25 yrs. participated from my clinic after getting their consent. They were not suffering from hypertension, diabetes mellitus, renal or hepatic disorders. Detailed history was taken. Height and weight were recorded. CONCLUSION Dysmenorrhoea is a common gynaecological problem among adolescents in Gaya also, although in our study participants are less in number, so further study with large number of participants is needed. Mild and moderate dysmenorrhoea do not cause absenteeism from school, college and work place.
