Article Synopsis
- The study investigates menstrual distress among women with Eating Disorders (EDs) compared to healthy controls (HCs), aiming to understand its correlation with ED psychopathology and the effects of hormonal contraception.
- Results reveal that women with EDs experience significantly higher menstrual distress and associated symptoms than HCs, with a notable correlation between menstrual distress and the severity of ED psychopathology.
- Hormonal contraception appears to alleviate menstrual distress in patients with low ED issues, but not in those with more severe psychopathology, emphasizing the need for tailored therapeutic approaches.
