“…Another possible explanation may lie in the fact that adolescents seek care for symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease later than adult women. 13 A positive gc/ct culture in this population may not represent a new infection, but rather, one that has persisted for a significant amount of time causing some degree of tubal damage. Finally, although unstudied, the possibility exists that this infection behaves differently in adolescents as compared with adults.…”

It has been accepted that food customs are closely associated with quality of life in women of the reproductive age. Food customs are speculated to not only influence the present life style but also to induce gynecological disorders such as dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation. Although there is no constant definition of regular or normal menstruation, epidemiologic evaluation of menstrual cycle has been becoming an important issue. In addition, latent development of organic diseases such as endometriosis, which are accompanied by dysmenorrhea, is a concern under the current nutritional environment in young women. Thus, it is an important issue to evaluate the present situation of eating habits in young women and estimate the influence of these habits on the quality of reproductive functions. Therefore, in this review, recent articles that are concerned with these issues have been reevaluated.

Data on the frequency and etiology of menorrhagia in university students are scarce, despite gynecological complaints are common in this age group [21][22][23]. The pictorial blood-loss assessment chart (PBAC) is a practical and objective method that has a high sensitivity and specificity when >100 score is accepted to define menorrhagia [24,25].…”
