Prevalence and Impact of Dysmenorrhea on Hispanic Female Adolescents
Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine · 2000 · Vol. 154(12) · pp. 1226–1226
Abstract
Dysmenorrhea is highly prevalent among Hispanic adolescents and is related to school absenteeism and limitations on social, academic, and sports activities. Given that most adolescents do not seek medical advice for dysmenorrhea, health care providers should screen routinely for dysmenorrhea and offer treatment. As dysmenorrhea reportedly affects school performance and attendance, school administrators may have a vested interest in providing health education on this topic to their students.
