Abstract

Background: Dysmenorrhea and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) are common disorders in the Mexican population, but these are usually underdiagnosed and under-treated, impacting women's quality of life. Adequate health habits have been reported as precursors of decreasing dysmenorrhea symptoms. However, few studies assess their impact on PMS.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate dysmenorrhea and premenstrual syndrome in association with health habits in the Mexican population.

Methods: To assess the impact of health habits on menstruation symptoms a validated survey was conducted in 1679 adult females aged ≥18 years. The survey collected data on participants' dysmenorrhea, PMS, and their health habits.

Results: The analysis showed that physical activity duration, changes in eating habits (increases in salty or sugary foods) during menstruation, and oversleeping habits predict increases in dysmenorrhea and PMS. In contrast, an active sexual life, relaxing physical activity, and adequate sleep hours during menstruation seem to decrease the symptoms.

Conclusions: We conclude that adequate health habits and addressing early gynecological conditions might regulate dysmenorrhea and PMS.

墨西哥人口中痛经和经前综合征与健康习惯的关系：一项横断面研究。

背景：痛经和经前综合征（PMS）是墨西哥人口中常见的疾病，但通常诊断和治疗不足，影响了妇女的生活质量。据报道，适当的卫生习惯是减少痛经症状的先决条件。目的：本研究旨在评估墨西哥人群中痛经和经前综合征与健康习惯的关系：为了评估健康习惯对月经症状的影响，我们对 1679 名年龄≥18 岁的成年女性进行了有效调查。调查收集了有关参与者痛经、经前综合征及其健康习惯的数据：分析表明，体育锻炼持续时间、月经期间饮食习惯的改变（增加含盐或含糖食物）以及睡过头的习惯可预测痛经和经前综合征的增加。与此相反，活跃的性生活、放松的体育活动和月经期间充足的睡眠时间似乎会减轻这些症状：我们的结论是，适当的健康习惯和解决早期妇科疾病可能会调节痛经和经前综合征。
