Primer Dismenorede D vitaminin Rolü

Abstract

Primary dysmenorrhea is uterine cramping that occurs during or before menstruation without pelvic disease and causes suprapubic pain. In researching the causes of dysmenorrhea, several studies have highlighted the role of lacking vitamin D(vit D). Vit D acts by suppressing the synthesis of prostaglandins that cause pain. Our study aims to investigate whether vit D level affects primary dysmenorrhea. For this purpose, vit D 3 level will be studied in patients with primary dysmenorrhea and a control group without dysmenorrhea. Low serum vit D levels and dysmenorrhea are strongly related. İt is obvious that there is a significant relationship between vit D levels, VAS score, and primary dysmenorrhea. More studies at larger scales are needed to underline the efficiency of vit D in primary dysmenorrhea
