Menstrual Health and Its Psychological Impact: A Comprehensive Analysis

Abstract

Menstrual health is a vital yet often neglected aspect of women's overall health, having both physical and psychological implications. This study examines the relationship between menstrual health issues such as dysmenorrhea, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and irregular cycles, and their psychological effects, including anxiety, depression, and stress. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 500 women, and the findings revealed a significant association between menstrual health problems and mental health disturbances. The study highlights the necessity of integrating psychological care into the management of menstrual disorders to improve overall well-being.
