Description
Summary:Dysmenorrhea is a condition that manifests itself in women before, during, and after menstruation, and it is accompanied by very intense pelvic pain. Moreover, women experience moderate to intense menstrual cramps year after year, decreasing their quality of life. The purpose of the study was to establish semiological differences associated with primary dysmenorrhea. Women who start their menstrual cycles with this symptomatology assume that it is normal and that they do not need specialized medical assistance. Medical professionals have established general practice guidelines on clinical disorders. However, there are no specific recommendations for the menstrual cycle that can effectively support the prompt diagnosis and treatment of primary dysmenorrhea, particularly at 3870 msnm. The uniqueness of our research is that semiological distinctions can change depending on height.
