The relationship between menstrual pain in adolescence and mental health in adolescence and early adulthood
This study highlights that adolescents who experience dysmenorrhea are at significantly greater risk of experiencing mental health problems both in adolescence and in early adulthood. Improved treatment for dysmenorrhea, menstrual education, mental health monitoring, and early intervention are essential to reduce this risk.
