Effect of Primary Dysmenorrhea on the Mental Health Quality of Medical Students in Saudi Arabia
Primary dysmenorrhea adversely affects the mental health of female medical students. The burden of menstrual pain, particularly in its severe form, increases the risk of mental health impairment in this group of patients. We advocate the promotion of health education programs to limit the effects of dysmenorrhea on students' quality of life.
