“…In a study by Muluneh et al in North-West Ethiopia in 2018, early age at menarche was associated with an increase in the prevalence of dysmenorrhea [16]. Akbarzadeh et al reported a significant association between age at menarche and dysmenorrhea onset [17]. On the other hand, Kural et al could not find such a correlation [18].…”

Dysmenorrhea is the most important cause of chronic pelvic pain in women. Sometimes, dysmenorrhea can be severe enough, leading women to present to emergency departments. The aim of this study was to investigate factors affecting dysmenorrhea in female patients who presented to the emergency department of our hospital. Methods Female patients who presented to our emergency department with dysmenorrhea between January 2012 and January 2014 were included in the study. Patients' demographic and clinical data were filled in the Dysmenorrhea Data Form, which was designed by the researcher by screening the relevant literature. Patients' age, educational status, smoking status, age and regularity of menarche, sexual activity, and age of dysmenorrhea onset were recorded and analyzed. Results The mean age of the patients was 21.80 ± 3.75 years. There was a significant correlation between the type of dysmenorrhea and sexual activity (p=0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between age at menarche and age of dysmenorrhea onset (p<0.001). Absenteeism was less common in patients with an age of dysmenorrhea onset of <12 years compared with the other age groups (p<0.05). Conclusions There was a significant correlation between age at menarche and age of dysmenorrhea onset. Data obtained in this study could be used in developing educational programs on dysmenorrhea for adolescents at the age of menarche.

“…Another factor that affects the incidence of dysmenorrhea in female national athletes in Indonesia is early menarche. Early menarche is considered the most important sign of puberty, which predicts the process of adolescent puberty and the onset of fertility (41). Early menarche occurs before the age of 12 (42).…”

Background. There has been a continuous increase in the participation of female athletes in "masculine" sports competitions and this is in line with the amplifying debate of whether this activity is appropriate for women in Indonesia. Objectives. This study aims to determine women's athletic motives for participating in "masculine" sports and their relationship with the incidence of dysmenorrhea. Methods. This research is a quantitative study with a crosssectional approach. The sample of this research is 137 female athletes by purposive sampling. The questionnaire was distributed to obtain data on extrinsic and intrinsic motives as well as the incidence of dysmenorrhea. The analysis used multinomial regression. Results. The results showed that there was an influence between the athlete's motivation and the incidence of moderate dysmenorrhea (p=0.024; RRR=8.5), there was a relationship between athlete's motivation and the incidence of severe dysmenorrhea (p=0.024; RRR=21.5), besides there was an influence between early menarche and the incidence of moderate dysmenorrhea (p=0.005; RRR=0.3) and there was an effect of early menarche with the incidence of severe dysmenorrhea levels (p=0.022; RRR=0.02). Conclusions. The extrinsic motivation variable is the most influential for the occurrence of dysmenorrhea, so it is necessary to increase the intrinsic motivation of athletes both by themselves and by the coach.

“…Therefore, since it is important to know how to enter the process of adolescence and how to overcome its ups and downs by adolescents, families should get acquainted with the time and trends of menarche and factors affecting it in order to provide their children with the right decisions in a timely manner [47]. Training issues, especially support of the family, can reduce the stresses and menstrual disorders of the adolescent girls [48], given that the main aim of this project was to study the prevalence of menarche, early and late menarche. Therefore, the factors affecting adolescents' psychological problems have not been fully evaluated.…”

Background Adolescence is associated with rapid changes in behavioral patterns which affect the functioning of the person in adulthood. The purpose of this research was to study the emotional and behavioral problems of 9–18-year-old girls and their relationship to menarche age. This cross-sectional study was done on girls aged 9–18 years old in Shiraz city. A cluster sampling method was used to select about 2000 students in 2015. Then, a questionnaire including demographic characteristics and strengths and difficulties (SDQ) was completed for each of them. The SPSS software was used to analyze the collected data via descriptive statistics and chi-square tests. Results Among the 2000 tested samples, the highest mean and standard deviation (4.2 ± 2.25) were related to emotional symptoms. Most of them (960 individuals = 48%) scored abnormally. The mean and standard deviation was 15.61 ± 5.89, and the highest value was 33. The highest mean and standard deviation (16.69 ± 5.4) ranged from 17 to 18 years old in 289 subjects. There was a significant relationship between the age of menarche and emotional and behavioral problems (p = 0.001). Most individuals (638 subjects) (46%) had abnormal emotional and behavioral problems in the menarche age of 11–12 years old. Conclusion Emotional symptoms were the most common emotional-behavioral problems of adolescents. There was a significant relationship between the menarche age and emotional and behavioral problems. It is necessary to be familiar with the problems of adolescent girls during adolescence and the way to deal with their problems.
