Menstrual disorder is a common health problem among females in their reproductive years. It has psychosocial effects on the sufferer and her interactions with others during such periods. In Nigeria, menstrual disorder has received little research attention especially in the public health agenda. This study combines quantitative and qualitative approaches in investigating the prevalence of dysmenorrhoea and menorrhagia and their psychosocial effects by focusing on the daily activities of female undergraduates at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed to select 415 female undergraduates at the University. A snowball sampling technique was used in selecting 37 informants for the in-depth interviews. Results showed a high prevalence of dysmenorrhoea (64%) among respondents within 3 months prior to this study. Dysmenorrhoea was significant among female students who reported dizziness, headache, depression and irritation; and those whose menstrual disorder ever called for medical attention (P<0.05). Similarly, menorrhagia was less frequent (21%) than dysmenorrhoea (64%), but occurred more significantly with dizziness, headache and depression, and those whose menstrual disorderliness ever called for medical attention or even surgical intervention (P<0.05). Menstrual disorder was experienced as an objective and subjective reality among those interviewed. Both dysmenorrhoea and menorrhagia were significant predictors of psychosocial relationship of the female students (P<0.05). Those with dysmenorrhoea reported one and a half times of depression than those without. However, menorrhagia appeared as the principal factor affecting their daily school activities and relationship with colleagues. Menstrual disorders prevalence is high among young undergraduates and appropriate enlightenment and treatment should be made available to young females.
Menstrual Pattern and Blood Pressure as Predictors of General Health Among Undergraduates
Sub-Sahara African Journal of Psychology and Contemporary Issues., 2021
The study was to ascertain the relationship between menstrual pattern, blood pressure, and general health of undergraduates. A cross-sectional survey was undertaken in which respondents were selected using multi-stage sampling techniques were questionnaires were administered and readings of blood pressure, height, and weight were taken. Inferential statistical analysis such as Pearson Product Moment Correlation and regression analysis was used to analyze data. The mean age at menarche was 14.5 years; mean of length of the cycle was 28.9days, with a range of 20-33 days while 31.2% of the respondents experienced irregular cycle. The prevalence of menstrual disorder was 18.9%. 22.1% of the respondents had a problem with blood pressure while 10.4 % of the respondents had a high level of psychopathology. The study revealed that there is a significant negative relationship between menstrual disorder and blood pressure (p <.01,-.364), a significant negative relationship between menstrual disorder and general health (p<.05,-.247), and a significant positive relationship between blood pressure and general health of respondents (p <.01, .814). The study concluded that there is a relationship between the study variables. Thus, the need to educate adolescents on what to expect on menstrual pattern to avoid anxiety and other related problems that comes with lack of knowledge on menstrual pattern. Also, the significance of problem-related to menstruation should be discussed for the same reason. Early diagnosis and treatment can also help to manage in time psychological problems that can arise as a result of menstrual problems.
