Abstract

Menstrual disorders are common, but their economic and social impact is still underreported. This study used a cross-sectional design to investigate menstrual symptom prevalence, impacts and economic burden in Australian women of reproductive age. One thousand two hundred thirty-eight responses were analysed (median age 33 years). Most respondents (77%) reported having bothersome menstrual symptoms, and almost half (44%) reported missed days of work or study because of their symptoms. Those aged 18-24 years were more likely to report bothersome menstrual symptoms, and time away from work and study, than those aged 35-44 years. The economic burden due to menstrual symptoms was approximately AUD $14.2 billion per year.

问题时期花费年轻女性-月经症状对工作和学习的影响。

月经紊乱很常见，但其经济和社会影响仍未得到充分报道。本研究采用横断面设计调查澳大利亚育龄妇女月经症状的患病率、影响和经济负担。分析了1338例应答（中位年龄33岁）。大多数受访者（77%）报告有令人烦恼的月经症状，近一半（44%）报告因症状而错过工作或学习。与35-44岁的人相比，18-24岁的人更有可能报告令人烦恼的月经症状，以及远离工作和学习的时间。经期症状造成的经济负担每年约为142亿澳元。
