“…Other studies have reported similar findings [3, 4, 7, 8, 20, 47, 48]. In this study, the average age at menarche was approximately 12 years, which is slightly lower than that in Turkey (13.38; [4]), Iran (13.3 years; [49]), Korea (13 years; [50]), Nigeria (12.7 years; [13]), Japan (12.5 years; [21]), and Hong Kong, South Africa, and Mexico (12.3 years; [8, 18, 47]). However, early menarche is defined as menarche beginning before age 11-12 [51–53].…”

“…Moreover, OC usage is significantly related to higher incidences of irregular uterine bleeding and nausea. Adverse events are more common during the early stage of use [21], and endometriosis is more frequent with long-term use [22]. In traditional Chinese medicine, the acupoint stimuli transmitted to the brain and specific organs in the rest of the body can modulate physiological reactions [23].…”

Background. Primary dysmenorrhea is prevalent in adolescents and young women. Menstrual pain and distress causes poor school performance and physiological damage. Auricular acupressure can be used to treat these symptoms, and Internet-based systems are a flexible way of communicating and delivering the relevant information. Objective. This study investigates the effects of auricular acupressure (AA) alone and combined with an interactive Internet-based (II) intervention for the management of menstrual pain and self-care of adolescents with primary dysmenorrhea. Design. This study adopts a pretest/posttest control research design with a convenience sample of 107 participants. Results. The outcomes were measured using the short-form McGill pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ), visual analogue scale (VAS), menstrual distress questionnaire (MDQ), and adolescent dysmenorrheic self-care scale (ADSCS). Significant differences were found in ADSCS scores between the groups, and in SF-MPQ, VAS, MDQ, and ADSCS scores for each group. Conclusion. Auricular acupressure alone and a combination of auricular acupressure and interactive Internet both reduced menstrual pain and distress for primary dysmenorrhea. Auricular acupressure combined with interactive Internet instruction is better than auricular acupuncture alone in improving self-care behaviors.

ÖzetKadınlarda dismenore sık karşılaşılan, hastanın yaşam kalitesini azaltan, önemli bir sağlık sorunudur. Dismenorenin sağlık sistemi üzerine ekonomik yükü de oldukça fazladır. Dismenore, şiddetine bağlı olarak iş, okul ve diğer günlük aktivitelerden alıkoyabilmektedir. Primer dismenore, herhangi bir pelvik patoloji olmadan, menstrüasyon sırasında alt abdominal bölgede görülen, tekrarlayan, kramp tarzında ağrıdır. Sekonder dismenore ise pelvik patoloji varlığında görülen menstrüasyon ağrısıdır. Primer dismenore reprodüktif yaş grubunda, özellikle de adölesanlarda çok sık rastlanan bir problem iken, sekonder dismenore kırklı ve ellili yaşlarda daha sık görülür. Doğru tanı için, semptomların detaylı olarak değerlendirilmesi ve kapsamlı bir fizik muayene çok önemlidir. Hastalığın tedavi seçenekleri için konservatif yaklaşımlardan medikal tedaviye kadar, geniş bir yelpaze söz konusudur. Bu derlemede primer dismenoreyi güncel bilgiler eşliğinde ele almak ve tedavi yaklaşımları konusunda bilgi vermek amaçlanmıştır. Anahtar Sözcükler: primer dismenore; adölesan; tedavi; kadın Abstract Dysmenorrhea is an important health care problem. It is common in women and reduces the quality of life. Economic burden of dysmenorrhea on the health system is quite high. Depending on the severity of symptoms, it may restrict work performance and school and other daily activities. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to the presence of recurrent, crampy, lower abdominal pain occurring during menses in the absence of any demonstrable pathology. Secondary dysmenorrhea refers to painful menstruation in the presence of a pelvic pathology. Primary dysmenorrhea is a common problem experienced by women in their reproductive years. Secondary dysmenorrhea is more common among the women in the fourth and fifth decades of life. For correct diagnosis, a detailed evaluation of the symptoms and a comprehensive physical examination is very important. Treatment options vary from conservative approaches to medical treatments. In this review, we intended to provide contemporary information on the definition and evaluation of primary dysmenorrhea, and treatment options.
