- - This study investigates the link between the severity of menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea) and psychological distress among working women in central Tokyo, focusing on 312 participants from a health project.
- - It found that 18.3% of women reported moderate to severe dysmenorrhea, which was linked to higher psychological distress, but this connection weakened when considering factors like premenstrual syndrome and job-related stress.
- - Additionally, greater job control was associated with lower psychological distress, suggesting it may help reduce the mental impact of dysmenorrhea on working women.
