Introduction: To detect the relationship between 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) and adolescents' parathyroid hormone (PTH) and bone mineral density (BMD).
Material And Methods: Two hundred adolescent girls were recruited for this cross-sectional comparative study. After detailed evaluation, a pelvic sonography was performed for the studied adolescents to rule out any pelvic pathology.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of vitamin D on primary dysmenorrhea in adolescents, focusing on how vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression affects inflammation in the female reproductive tract.
- Eighty-five adolescents were evaluated, and after administering vitamin D (50,000 IU weekly for five months), significant reductions in pain were observed, with Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores dropping from 8.7 to 4.8 and Verbal Multidimensional Scoring (VMS) scores improving from 2.65 to 0.80.
- The findings suggest that vitamin D supplementation may be an effective treatment for managing dysmenorrhea symptoms, potentially reducing reliance on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Dysmenorrhea, affecting approximately 80% of adolescents, significantly impairs quality of life, disrupts sleep patterns, and induces mood changes. Furthermore, its economic impact is substantial, accounting for an estimated $200 billion in the United States and $4.2 million in Japan annually.
