| description | Menstruation is normal biological phenomena for girls and women. During menstruation, girls and women feel
a certain degree of pain (dysmenorrhea) that can be minor to severe resulting obstacles in carrying daily life
activities including school. This study was conducted to determine how dysmenorrheal pain has affected the
students’ school as well as daily life along with prevailing social and cultural rules segregated just for the times
during period. Following cross-sectional design, this study took place among 366 students of Kathmandu (66.1%)
and Dhading (33.9%), aged from 13 to 20 years. 89% of the students complained of having dysmenorrhea where
moderate degree of pain had the highest frequency of 49.7%. Nonetheless of the degree of pain, 45.1% missed school
because of it. Besides missing classes, 81% didn’t participate in sports activities during their period. 38% students
regularly followed restrictions applied during period while 34% followed them sometimes only. 83% complained
about school administration failing to address periodic problems. I would recommend the school administration
to have an infirmary where the students can take rest and continue their classes after that. Adding on to it, the
administration should be able to provide emergency sanitary pads and heat pads, so that the students don’t have
to go back home and miss their classes. |
