Abstract

Dysmenorrhea, a common gynaecological condition characterized by menstrual pain,
exerts a profound influence on the quality of life and productivity of reproductiveage women. This epidemiological investigation examines its prevalence, severity,
and functional implications using data collected from 79 respondents via a structured
questionnaire. Parameters analysed include demographic data, menstrual
characteristics, pain typology, symptom severity, and disruptions to occupational,
educational, and social life. Findings are presented through a combination of
narrative, tabular, and graphical formats, providing comprehensive insights into
dysmenorrhea’s burden and emphasizing the need for informed clinical and policy
responses.
