Introduction: Dysmenorrhea, which also known as menstrual pain or cramp is, considers one of the most prevalent menstrual disorders among female reproductive period. During the recent years, regular exercise and physical activities have been introduced as effective methods for prevention and treatment of dysmenorrhea. Physical activity leads to the release of endorphins which may enhance the pain threshold and thus reduce pain. Level of physical activity varies across countries. This study looks into the prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea among young adults to get a better understanding of the problem stated and to find out the relationship between physical activity and primary dysmenorrhea. Materials & Methods: A cross sectional study design was adopted with total of 165 participants with the age range between 18 to 30 (22.8 + 30) was recruited using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Self-administered questionnaire on dysmenorrhea and menstrual characteristics were administered. Physical activity level was measured using global physical activity questionnaire (GPAQ). Results: A total of 144 participants (87.3%) were discovered to have primary dysmenorrhea. There is moderate negative correlation exist between pain intensity and primary dysmenorrhea, r =-0.42, p <0.035. This result suggests that maintaining a good physical activity is important in reducing dysmenorrhea symptoms. Conclusion: Correction and prevention of primary dysmenorrhea is necessary in view of high incidence.

To study the effect of physical activity on the dysmenorrhea in young women. Design & Setting: The study design was a cross sectional. It was carried out in Dr. BMN College. Subjects & Methods: A total number of 80 students having dysmenorrhea were selected for the study by means of a questionnaire. They were divided into 2 groups - 50 for experimental and 30 for control group. Anthropometric measurements (height, weight, BMI and waist circumference) and 24 hour dietary recall of the selected subjects was taken. This was followed by a physical activity schedule for a period of 2 months. The subjects were taught physical activities including yoga asanas (Bhujangasana and Dhanurasana) and breathing exercises, knee bends by a qualified yoga teacher once. Thereafter subjects were told to do these exercises daily. The intervention period was 2 months. Intensity and duration of pain, use of medicine, dietary recall and anthropometric measurements after physical activity schedule were recorded for subjects from experimental group. Results: Dysmenorrhea was common among students who were part of the survey with a prevalence of 76.62 % (n= 118). It was found that subjects who got menses early (10yrs) or late (16+ years) had very irregular duration. It was ascertained that if menarcheal age is 13-15 years, blood flow will be normal. It can be concluded that later the menarche, less will be the number of days of pain. There was slight reduction in intensity of pain and use of medicine after intervention; however the difference was not statistically significant due to short duration of the study. Similarly, there was no statistically significant difference found in the waist circumference, weight and BMI of the subjects after administering physical exercise. Conclusion: Primary dysmenorrhea is very common in young women. Physical activity especially yoga has been proved to have an effect on dysmenorrhea, but in the present study it did not show any significant result which may be due to the short duration of the study. Physical activity can play a considerable role in reducing use of medicines for relieving pain, decrease in school- college absenteeism and social withdrawal.

Introduction-88% of the adolescent girls suffer from primary dysmenorrhea (PD) within first 2 years of menarche. Increased levels of PG's especially PGF 2α is said to be the prime reason behind PD. With rise in the adolescent obesity globally leading to early age of menarche (AOM), the young girl is subjected to the discomforts of PD earlier. Material and methodology-A cross-sectional study was conducted on 210 adolescent girls from different schools of Gwalior to find the correlation between PD and BMI. The participants' anthropometric measurements were taken and were asked to fill a questionnaire regarding the PD and the menstrual details. The pain scoring was done by NRS. The participants were divided according to the Revised IAP BMI charts. Results-Prevalence of PD was found to be 70% and higher BMI was associated with greater prevalence and severity of pain. BMI was strongly correlated with MPS (r=0.72). Conclusion-PD is disturbing and psychologically taxing for the adolescent girl and as obesity is a correctable predisposing factor for PD, weight reduction can reduce the symptoms and maintain the regularity of menstrual cycles.
