| 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 dysmenorrhoeal 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. |
