“…This finding is considered normal as adolescents in this present study were experiencing menarche at the age 13-14 years old, and most of our respondents were 16-17 years old when the study was conducted. The previous study by Fujiwa, et al, suggested that about 25-40% of girls were experiencing irregular menstruation or did not ovulate until four years after menarche because positive estrogen feedback system on hypothalamus and pituitary is still developing [9]. However, we found that the second common disturbance reported by the girls in this present study was abnormal blood volume (50%) and around 50% girls reported to have at least two types of menstrual disorder.…”

Both under-and over-nutrition problems exist among Indonesian adolescent girls which was around 7.5% at aged 16-18 years was thin, and 5.7% was obese. The problem of the menstrual disorder is also common among adolescent girls as 13.5% of Indonesian women aged 10-59 years had an irregular menstrual cycle. This research aims to investigate the relationship between nutritional status and macronutrient intake and menstrual disorders at adolescent girls. The study design was a cross-sectional with chisquare test. A total of 114 convenience sample was recruited from high school girls at grade 1 and 2 who attended Islamic Boarding School. The collected data was macronutrient intakes, body weight, height, and menstrual disorders which respectively using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, a weighing scale and a microtoice, and a self-administrative questionnaire. The results showed that the majority of school girls reported menstrual disorders (61.4%). A significant relationship between inadequate fat intake and menstrual disorders (p=0,033) was discovered. Meanwhile, no significant relationship was found between carbohydrate intake (p=0,348), protein intake (p=0,667), and nutritional status (p=0,178) and menstrual disorders. The researchers concluded that inadequate macronutrient intakes and menstrual disorders could be the critical nutrition and reproductive health issues to be addressed among adolescent girls at a boarding school setting.

Purpose. Dietary habit and body composition can develop risk of menstrual disorders. The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between macronutrient intake, anthropometric indices, and menstrual disorders. Methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 217 women with an average age of 28.8 ± 7.9 years. Anthropometric indices including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and skinfold thickness from all participants were measured. Menstrual cycle characteristics were self-reported. The dietary habits were assessed by using a modified, semiquantitative 147 items Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) by two trained dietitians. Chi-square and independent T-test were used to assess bivariate associations and logistic regression was implemented in SPSS 21. Results. Most of the participants (52.5%) suffered from at least one of the menstrual disorders including painful menstruation (41%), premenstrual syndrome (PMS) (24.9%), and irregular menstruation (22.1%). The mean of waist circumference in women with no complication was 76.0 ± 11.8 and in women with at least one disorder was 86.7 ± 14.0 ( P < 0.001 ). Our results suggest that women with no disorder consumed less calorie, carbohydrate, protein, and fat in comparison to women with at least one disorder ( P < 0.001 ). Furthermore, the proportion of all kinds of disorders among women, who had overweight or obesity, was significantly higher than women with normal BMI ( P < 0.001 ). Conclusion. Irregular menstruation, painful menstruation, and PMS were significantly associated with high intake of calories, proteins, carbohydrates, and total fat. Furthermore, menstruation-related complications were worsened by obesity.

“…Progesterone is crucial for preparing the uterine lining for implantation and maintaining a healthy pregnancy if fertilization occurs. Imbalances in progesterone levels can lead to irregularities in the menstrual cycle and contribute to premenstrual symptoms [25]. Junk foods are often deficient in essential micronutrients like vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium, and potassium.…”

Polycystic Ovarian Disorder (PCOD) is a prevalent endocrine illness in women of reproductive age which is a reproductive and metabolic disorder. It shows hormonal abnormalities in which there is an excessive production of androgens and that is one of the main causes of infertility, diabetes, irregular menstrual periods, hirsutism, hair loss, obesity and acne. One of the main features of PCOD is the presence of cysts on the ovaries, which can affect their ability to release eggs regularly and Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) plays an inhibitory role in follicular development and recruitment, contributing to follicular arrest. AMH inhibitory action on FSH-induced aromatase production likely contributes to hyperandrogenism in PCOD. Some factors which can cause of PCOD such as lack of exercise, skipping breakfast, fast food, unbalanced sleep, obesity, genetic, environmental factors and stress level. Lifestyle and nutrition can affect PCOD development and maintenance in PCOD can be done by lifestyle changes such as diet regulation (in taking of vitamins, antioxidant and Creatine) and exercise, as well as medications to regulate hormones, improve fertility and sleep which play a vital role in PCOD management.
