Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate pain and physical fitness parameters such as balance, muscle strength, and core stabilization in primary dysmenorrhea.

Detailed description

Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is a condition that occurs just before or during menstruation and is accompanied by cramp-like pain in the lower abdomen, without any pelvic pathology. Pain usually begins just before or during menstruation and ends within 12-72 hours. Most women with PD describe their menstrual pain as moderate to severe, which significantly affects their activities of daily living and school and work performance. In PD, functions and activities of daily living are also affected due to pain and other hormonal changes. Studies have reported that musculoskeletal problems such as decreased spinal mobility, pelvic stability and postural control are observed in women with dysmenorrhea. The aim of this study is to evaluate pain and physical fitness parameters such as balance, muscle strength, and core stabilization during the menstruation and on a non-menstrual day of the cycle, in primary dysmenorrhea.
