MENSTRUAL BLEEDING IN ADOLESCENT GIRLS. JUVENILE DYSMENORRHEA
Abstract
Menstrual bleeding in adolescent girls, particularly juvenile dysmenorrhea, is a common gynecological issue that affects physical, emotional, and social well-being [1, 2]. Juvenile dysmenorrhea refers to painful menstrual cramps occurring in adolescents, often associated with ovulatory cycles and hormonal changes [3]. Early diagnosis and proper management are essential to prevent complications, improve quality of life, and reduce school absenteeism [4]. Studies show that both pharmacological interventions, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and non-pharmacological methods, including lifestyle modification and physical activity, are effective in symptom management [5]. Awareness and education for adolescents and caregivers play a crucial role in timely intervention [6].
