Clinical Trial Summary

Women with endometriosis in our country and around the world face various difficulties during their menstrual periods in reproductive age. While some of these difficulties are caused by the environment, some of them are due to the insufficient development of personal consciousness. In our study, we aim to reveal the perspective of individuals and society on the menstrual period. Our primary aim in our study is to understand what kind of problems are experienced in different regions of our country during the menstrual period for women and how they are spent. Secondly, the effect of this period on women's quality of life will be examined.

Description:

Our research will be conducted between January 1, 2022, and February 1, 2022, in 7 different regions of our country, by asking questions to women of reproductive age from different groups. Each participant will be asked to answer the survey questions and the results will be analyzed. The survey will be done face to face. The questionnaire contains questions about women's socio-demographic data, their perspectives on their menstrual period, their information about endometriosis, and their perspectives on pads and birth control pills. Menstruating women of reproductive age between the ages of 18- 45 will be included in this study. As a result of the study, the problems experienced by women of reproductive age in different regions will be evaluated.
