Abstract Background:
Menstrual health and psycho-emotional well-being are important aspects of women’s reproductive health. Despite advancements in healthcare, menstrual irregularities and associated mood disturbances remain prevalent, particularly in urban areas where stress, sedentary lifestyles, and dietary habits contribute to hormonal imbalances. This study explores the interplay between psycho-emotional disturbances and menstrual irregularities among urban women.
Objectives
The study's main objectives were to assess psycho-emotional disturbances, menstrual irregularities, their correlation, and associations with demographic variables among women of reproductive age.
Materials and Methods
A quantitative, non-experimental descriptive study was conducted on 70 women aged 18–45 in Chennai. Participants were selected using non-probability convenience sampling. Data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Mood and Feelings Scale, and a Menstrual Irregularities Questionnaire. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, and chi-square tests.
Results
Moderate mood disturbances (57.1%) and moderate menstrual irregularities (42.9%) were most common among women in reproductive age. A moderate positive correlation (r = 0.58), (p < 0.05) was observed between psycho-emotional disturbances and menstrual irregularities. Significant associations were found between age and both psycho-emotional disturbances (p = 0.037) and menstrual irregularities (p = 0.033).
Conclusion
Psycho-emotional disturbances and menstrual irregularities are significantly interrelated among urban women. Targeted interventions, including mental health education, lifestyle modifications, and stress management, are essential to improve women’s overall well-being and productivity.
