Menstrual management and the impact of primary dysmenorrhea intensity on quality of life: A cross-sectional study in Chilean women
Dysmenorrhea impacts different dimensions of quality of life. Despite its high prevalence, it is often underestimated, and women often normalize pain by employing various methods to mitigate it. The concept of menstrual health is a subjective and multidimensional experience. The results suggest the importance of comprehensively updating the management of dysmenorrhea and incorporating new studies on economic evaluation, prevalence, and self-image to delve deeper into the subject.
