CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background of Study
Menstruation, is the periodical flow of blood from the uterus through the cervix and out through the vagina, and it is also called a “period”. Menstruation occurs during the years between puberty and menopause. Monthly menstrual periods are a normal part of a woman’s life. Menstruation is essential for the renewal of the uterine lining in preparation for pregnancy. The process of degeneration of endometrial bed and removal of the same though vagina occurs at regular interval and is called the menstrual cycle (Betterhealth, 2021).
The menstrual cycle provides important body chemicals, called hormones, to keep healthy. It also prepares body for pregnancy each month. A cycle is counted from the first day of 1 period to the first day of the next period. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days long. Cycles can range anywhere from 21 to 35 days in adults and from 21 to 45 days in young teen. It is intended to discuss about this physiological process and associated complications in detail in the following sections including traditional ways to get relief from such discomforts highlighting the herbs and home remedies commonly used (Betterhealth, 2021).
The median age of menarche is 12.9 years. The length of the normal menstrual cycle is highly variable. Normal menstrual cycles are characterized by a cycle length of 28 days (+ 7 days), a duration of flow of 4 days (+ 2 days), and a blood loss of 40 mL (+ 20 mL).3 The mean volume of menstrual blood loss is 43 mL, with a normal range of 20-80 mL (Mayoclinic, 2021).
Abnormal/irregular menstrual patterns are common during the first 2 years after menarche and the variability in cycle length is greater during adolescence than adulthood; thus greater irregularity is acceptable if significant anemia or hemorrhage is not present. Therefore, in Nigeria where the research was carried out, the activities that was conducted is to know the Menstrual Cycle and its Disorder (Wikipedia, 2021).
1.2 Statement of Problems
Menstrual disorders are a common problem in adolescents. These disorders are often the source of anxiety for the patients and the families. The common menstrual disorders in adolescents are amenorrhea, abnormal/excessive uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhea, and premenstrual syndrome.
Cycles are abnormal if they are longer than 8 to 10 days in duration or if more than 80 mL of blood loss occurs, particularly after the first 2 years from the onset of menarche. It is very difficult to quantify the blood loss however; soaking more than 25 pads or 30 tampons during a menstrual period is usually abnormal.
