Strategies for handling dysmenorrhea in adolescents
Keywords:
adolescents, handling dysmenorrhea, strategiesAbstract
Background of the problem: Dysmenorrhea has been identified as a public health problem because of its high prevalence. Dysmenorrhea is a condition that affects various aspects of a woman's life. Although this condition occurs in many women, it is often underestimated and underdiagnosed, and therefore untreated. Early diagnosis of dysmenorrhea is very important. Therefore, women who experience menstrual pain and other accompanying symptoms during menstruation should be referred to an experienced gynecologist for differential diagnosis. Destination: The scoping review was conducted to map the available evidence on the dysmenorrhea treatment strategies used by adolescents to cope with their dysmenorrhea. Method: The database used by Pubmed, Ebscho, Sience Direct and gray literature, namely Google Scholar with inclusion criteria, original articles, published above in 2017 published in English, articles discussing strategies for dealing with dysmenorrhea in adolescents, free full text and open access articles. Exclusion criteria for review articles, opinion articles, organizational documents/guidelines. The eligibility of articles was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute tools (JBI), and the Critical Appraisal Program (CSAP). Results: The worldwide prevalence of dysmenorrhea ranges between 50% and 90%. A total of eleven studies said most of the women used pharmacological methods to relieve menstrual pain.
