The aim of our study is to determine the prevalence of irregularities in the menstrual cycle and their possible association with age and the presence of depression in teenagers of Benigno Malo High School.

Persistent organic pollutants are a group of chemical compounds of global concern due to the health damages caused by the exposure to them. Their capacity as endocrine disrupters is one of their main characteristics, being women in reproductive age the most vulnerable population. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of exposure to a mixture of pesticides in the menstrual cycle of a sample of 29 teenagers between the ages of 12 and 17 years old from El Refugio, San Luis Potosi, Mexico, a community whose predominant activity is agriculture. The participants were trained to record in a diary/ logbook all the events related to their menstrual cycle. Serum levels of sex hormones were measured by chemiluminescence, and plasma concentrations of organochlorine (OC) pesticides and the level of dialkyl phosphates metabolites (DAPs) of organophosphorus agrochemicals presented in urine were measured through gas chromatographymass spectrometry. Around 41.6 % of the participants presented some alteration in their hormonal levels, mainly of follicle-stimulating hormone and progesterone. Of these, OC pesticides in plasma were detected in 62 % (ΣOC = 1651.25 ng/g of lipid), and 66 % had detectable levels of DAPs (ΣDAP = 153.82 mg/g of creatinine). Together, these results suggest damage to the endocrine system that could be generated by exposure to a mixture of OC and organophosphorus pesticides could generate.
La adolescencia es una etapa de transito entre la infancia y la vida adulta. Durante esta etapa, el adolescente experimenta cambios físicos y psicológicos que afectan a todos los aspectos de su personalidad: a su dimensión biológica (cambios corporales), a su estructura intelectual, a su mundo afectivo (experimenta nuevas emociones y sentimientos), a su imagen del mundo y a su propio sentido de la existencia. Todo adolescente busca su identidad, se pregunta quién es y qué llegará a ser. Algunos de los objetivos que el adolescente debe alcanzar son: Desarrollar sus capacidades cognitivas y emocionales. Es la etapa en que los jóvenes acceden al pensamiento abstracto y al conocimiento reflexivo, que les posibilita una nueva manera de pensar y razonar sobre las cosas. Construir su propia identidad personal: integrar y aceptar la imagen corporal, tener expectativas y proyectos futuros. Esto implica aceptar las transformaciones físicas de la pubertad, la identidad sexual e iniciar el camino hacia una autonomía personal y emocional. Adquirir nuevas capacidades sociales (relaciones con compañeros de ambos sexos y los adultos), una moral autónoma (aceptar los valores y comprender las normas sociales), nuevas relaciones interpersonales (inicio de una relación de pareja) y desempeñar un rol estudiantil o laboral.

Rev Obstet Ginecol Venezuela, 1999
Objective: To determine the incidence of menstrual irregularities in female interns and residents. Method: Doctors were interviewed using an elaborated questionnaire. Setting: Third and second level hospitals from the city of Maracaibo. Results: We analyzed 207(87.7%) questionnaire of 236: 172(83.1%) residents and 41(16.9%) interns. Fifty six female doctors (27.15%) had menstrual irregularities: 47(83.9%) residents and 9 interns (16.1%) (p< 0.9). Thirty-five (74.5%) of 47 residents were doing the postgraduate training residency at university level. Short menstrual cycles were the menstrual irregularities reported more frequently; 26% of 185 doctors with regular menstrual cycles had menstrual irregularities against 8(36.4%) of 22 with irregular menstrual cycles (p< 0.2). There was no statistical significance between the doctor with menstrual irregularities who lived with the family group and did not live with it; similar results were obtained when the group who received a salary was compared to the group who did not received any. Hospital, specialty and year of residency did not have any influence. Psychic factors produced more menstrual irregularities (84.5%) than others factors (15.5%), it was statistically significant (p= 0.003). On duty was the most frequent cause (22.7%) of menstrual irregularities. Conclusion: Doctors are a high risk group for menstrual irregularities because of psychic stress
El paso de la niñez a la adultez puede ser un pasaje duro que necesita de un cierto esfuerzo. Pero en sí mismo, ese momento al que llamamos adolescencia no se liga por fuerza a la violencia. La violencia es una posibilidad de la especie humana, en cualquier cultura, en cualquier posición social, en cualquier edad. No es patrimonio de los jóvenes.
