Effects of dysmenorrhea on work productivity and quality of life in Japanese women: A large-scale web-based cross-sectional study
The severity of dysmenorrhea significantly affects the work productivity and quality of life of Japanese women. A dysmenorrhea score of ≥3 as a threshold for treatment eligibility may be a useful and potentially valid criterion. The application of a dysmenorrhea score may facilitate the screening of dysmenorrhea in clinical practice.
