Abstract

The aim. To establish the prevalence of PMS symptoms and evaluate the medication management of this disorder in Lviv. Materials and methods. The objects of the study were: scientific publications related to the problem of PMS; the results (n=105) of the survey. Methods applied: systematization, generalization, comparison, questionnaire. The statistical analyses (descriptive statistics, univariable analysis using simple logistic regression, multiple logistic regression) were performed with SPSS Trial. Results. The prevalence of PMS among the surveyed was high (83,8 %). The most common complaints are abdominal and/or low back pain (46,6 %) and increased irritability/aggression (43,2 %). Almost half (46,6 %) of women who experienced PMS consult a pharmacist, and only 23,9 % seek medical advice. At the same time, 87,5 % (n=77) of women (among those suffering from PMS) use medicines to alleviate/eliminate the symptoms of PMS. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (77,6 %), sedatives (36,8 %), and complex herbal remedies that affect the genital system (18,4 %) are the most common drugs for PMS. Choosing the way of PMS management, 44,8 % of women would prefer herbal medicines to synthetic ones. Both previous using of synthetic drugs for PMS and adverse drug reactions to synthetic drugs have a statistically significant contribution to a positive attitude towards herbal remedies (p=0,004 and p=0,026, respectively). Conclusion. PMS is a common medical and social issue. Achieving effective and safe medication management of PMS requires the joint participation of a physician, pharmacist, and the patient in terms of compliance and lifestyle adjustments
经前综合症的管理:乌克兰利沃夫药房妇女问卷调查的结果
的目标。目的:了解利沃夫市经前症候群症状的流行情况,并评价经前症候群的药物治疗。材料和方法。研究对象为:与经前症候群相关的科学出版物;调查结果(n=105)。应用方法:系统化、归纳化、比较法、问卷调查法。统计分析(描述性统计、单变量分析采用简单逻辑回归、多元逻辑回归)采用SPSS Trial软件。结果。经前症候群患病率较高(83.8%)。最常见的主诉是腹部和/或腰痛(46.6%)和易怒/攻击性增加(43.2%)。几乎一半(46.6%)经历过经前综合症的妇女向药剂师咨询,只有23.9%寻求医疗建议。同时,87.5% (n=77)的妇女(在经前综合症患者中)使用药物来减轻/消除经前综合症的症状。非甾体类抗炎药(76.7%)、镇静剂(36.8%)和影响生殖系统的复杂草药(18.4%)是治疗经前症候群最常见的药物。在经前症候群管理方式的选择上,44.8%的女性选择草药而非合成药物。既往使用合成药物治疗经前症候群和对合成药物的不良反应对草药治疗的积极态度有统计学上显著的贡献(p= 0.004和p= 0.026)。结论。经前症候群是一个常见的医学和社会问题。实现经前症候群有效和安全的用药管理需要医生、药剂师和患者在依从性和生活方式调整方面的共同参与
