Banyak wanita yang mengalami gangguan pada menstruasinya, diantaranya adalah nyeri haid atau sering disebut dismenore. Prevalensi kejadian dismenore pada remaja wanita diperkirakan antara 20-90% dan sekitar 15% remaja dilaporkan mengalami dismenore berat. Dismenore berat ini menyebabkan mereka tidak mampu untuk melakukan kegiatan apapun serta mempengaruhi kinerja akademik mahasiswi. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh mahasiswi angkatan 2017 dan 2018 yaitu sebanyak 135 orang mahasiswi. Sampel berjumlah 100 orang mahasiswi. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan menggunakan purposive sampling. Dianalisa secara univariat dan bivariat dengan uji chi square. Dari hasil uji bivariat menunjukan bahwa ada hubungan antara dismenore dengan kinerja akademik mahasiswi STIKes Murni Teguh (p value 0,01) dengan OR sebesar 4,38 yang berarti bahwa mahasiswi yang tidak mengalami dismenore perkiraan peluangnya 4,38 kali memiliki kinerja akademik yang sangat memuaskan dibandingkan dengan mahasiswi yang mengalami dismenore. Disarankan agar STIKes Murni Teguh dapat mengaktifkan kegiatan olahraga rutin sebagai bentuk kegiatan kemahasiswaan bagi seluruh mahasiswi terutama mahasiswi yang mengalami dismenore mulai dari olahraga dengan gerakan fisik yang sederhana maupun olahraga aerobik yang dapat mengurangi nyeri haid yang dapat mengganggu aktifitas belajar mahasiswi.   Many women experience menstrual disorders, including menstrual pain or often called dysmenorrhea. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea in young women is estimated to be between 20-90% and around 15% of adolescents reported severe dysmenorrhea. This severe dysmenorrhea causes them to be unable to carry out any activities and influence the academic performance of female students. This type of research is descriptive analytic with cross sectional design. The population in this study were all female students of 2017 and 2018 namely 135 female students. The sample amounted to 100 female students. Sampling is done using purposive sampling. Analyzed by univariate and bivariate with chi square test.The results of the bivariate test showed that there was a relationship between dysmenorrhea and the academic performance of Murni Teguh STIKes students (p value 0.01) with an OR of 4.38 which means that students who did not experience dysmenorrhea estimated their chances of 4.38 times having very satisfying academic performance compared to female students who experience dysmenorrhea. It is recommended that Murni Teguh STIKes be able to activate regular sports activities as a form of student activities for all female students, especially female students who experience dysmenorrhea, from simple physical movements and aerobic exercise that can reduce menstrual pain which can interfere with the student's learning activities.

This study is specifically concerned with the effect of regular physical activity during menstruation on the course of menstrual cycle among nullipara. Based on the author’s questionnaire, the 152 women participating in the study were divided into three groups A, B and C – depending on their level of physical activity. The physical activity at a moderate level does not significantly affect the regularity of menstrual cycles. The cultivation of moderate physical activity during menstruation does not significantly affect the duration of bleeding. Moderate physical activity is irrelevant to the abundance of menstrual bleeding. Moderate physical activity has no significant effect on menstrual pain and its duration. Women who are physically active at a moderate level throughout their menstrual cycle are less likely to experience symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) than women who are only physically active outside of menstruation and are not physically active, which may indicate that moderate physical activity during menstruation prevents symptoms of premenstrual tension syndrome. Based on the results achieved, it is not possible to clearly determine the relevance of promoting moderate physical activity, with particular emphasis on that during menstruation, among women. The study needs to be continued with particular attention paid to physical activity during the day, the influence of environmental factors and stress on the examined women, and with attention paid to the intensity of pain accompanying bleeding. However, it can be assumed that there is no justification for limiting physical activity during the menstrual bleeding phase.

Higher concentrations of oxidative stress biomarkers are found in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis, conditions linked to irregular menstrual cycles and menstrual pain. The aim of the present study was to test whether women with higher oxidative stress are more likely to show irregular menstrual cycles and severe menstrual pain compared with women with lower oxidative stress. A cross-sectional study was conducted targeting female university students with a mean (SD) age of 20.5 (1.8) years (n = 188). Participants completed a questionnaire on reproductive characteristics and anthropometry and kept a menstrual cycle diary for 5 consecutive months. Urinary 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), cotinine, and creatinine concentrations were measured once during the study period. The mean (SD) value of the urinary 8-OHdG concentration was 4.7 (2.0) μg/g of creatinine. A total of 1021 menstrual cycles were recorded. The participants were categorized as either having regular (68%) or irregular (18%) cycles or oligomenorrhea (13%) or polymenorrhea (1%). The urinary 8-OHdG concentration did not significantly differ across menstrual cycle regularity or pain categories. Even after adjusting for age, body mass index (BMI), and urinary cotinine concentrations, having irregular cycles or more severe menstrual pain was not associated with urinary 8-OHdG concentration.

Adolescent girls are one of the groups of people who is prone to iron nutrient deficiency. Iron is required as a substitute for iron lost due to the menstrual cycle. This research aims to determine the trigger factors of anemia in adolescent girls who become participants of the prevention and control program of anemia. This type of research is an observational research with cross sectional design and using statistical test of chelstle method of Mantel Haentzel and OR value for its meaning. The results shows there are four significant triggers of anemia that is perception of adolescent about nutrition (OR = 2,24; 95% CI = 1,05 - 4,76), adherence to TTD (OR = 2,49; 95% CI = 1.11 - 5.58), protein consumption levels (OR = 3.27, 95% CI = 1.57 - 6.84), iron intake (OR = 2.81; 95% CI = 1.30 - 6.05), and duration of menstrual bleeding (OR = 8.08; 95% CI = 1.05 - 61.89). The distribution of blood booster tablets or tablet tambah darah (TTD) needs to be intensified again, accompanied by an emphasis on the benefits of TTD tablets for young women, and to continue to consume independently when the distribution of TTD is terminated. In conclusion, adolescent girls are prevalent to iron nutrient due to menstrual cycle. Therefore, nutrition counseling should also be given besides consuming fresh foods rich in protein and iron as well as vegetables and fruits, because both foods contain vitamin C which greatly helps the absorption of iron in the body.

Objectives. This study describes women’s menstrual needs at work in Uganda and explores the contribution of menstrual experiences to their work and wellbeing. Methods. We undertook a cross-sectional survey of women working in marketplaces, public primary schools, and health care facilities in Mukono district, central Uganda. Following qualitative investigation, survey questions were designed to capture women’s experiences of managing menstrual bleeding, pain, social support, and the social environment.Results. A total 435 women working in markets, 45 teachers and 45 health care facility workers participated. Of these, 15% missed work due to their last period, and 41% would prefer not to work during menstruation. Experiencing menstrual pain (aPR 3.65 95%CI 1.48-9.00), along with the use of improvised menstrual materials (aPR 1.41 95%CI 1.08-1.83), not feeling comfortable to discuss menstruation at work (aPR 1.54 95%CI 1.01-2.34) and the expectation that women should stay home when menstruating (aPR 2.44 95%CI 1.30-4.60) predicted absenteeism due to menstruation. In contrast, not having menstrual management needs met (aPR 1.45 95%CI 1.17-1.79) and the attitude that menstruating women are dirty (aPR 1.94 95%CI 1.50-2.51), along with pain and norms around absenteeism were associated with wanting to miss work. After adjustment for age and poverty, unmet menstrual management needs (b=-5.97, 95%CI -8.89, -2.97), pain (b=-3.89, 95%CI -7,71,-0.08) and poor social support (b=-5.40, 95%CI -9.22, -1.57) predicted lower wellbeing while attitudes that menstruation should be kept secret (b=4.48, 95%CI 0.79, 8.17) and is dirty (b=4.59, 95%CI 0.79, 8.40) were associated with higher wellbeing.Conclusions. Unmet menstrual needs were associated with consequences for women’s work and psychological wellbeing. Findings suggest that supporting care for menstrual pain, addressing secrecy surrounding menstruation and the perception of menstruation as dirty, and improving access to materials and facilities for managing menstrual bleeding represent avenues for programs and policies to support working women.
