Dysmenorrhea is highly prevalent and can substantially impair academic performance,
workplace productivity, and psychosocial well-being. Management practices often remain
suboptimal, with reliance on self-medication and limited menstrual health education. This
study evaluated the effectiveness of a structured menstrual health education and management
intervention on pain severity and quality-of-life outcomes. A prospective interventional
study was conducted among females aged 13–45 years experiencing dysmenorrhea. The
intervention included menstrual health education, guidance on safe pharmacological use,
and non-pharmacological strategies. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and after six
months. Post-intervention assessments demonstrated reduced pain severity and absenteeism,
with improvements in quality-of-life indicators. Structured education and management
interventions offer an effective, low-cost approach to reduce dysmenorrhea burden and
improve functional outcomes.
