Abstract

Objective: To investigate the severity of pain and diur­nal changes in uterine artery blood flow in cases with pri­mary dysmenorrhea. Material and method: The study included 17 cases di­agnosed as primary dysmenorrhea and 15 individuals who had no dysmenorrhea complaint. Bilateral Systole/Diastole rates (S/D), Pulsatility Index (Pl) and Resistance Index (Rl) measurements of all cases were made using transvaginal color Doppler at 12.00-02.00 p.m. and 12.00-02.00 a.m. Pain severity was evaluated at the same hours in dysme­norrhea cases using a verbal pain assessment scale. Wilco­xon Rank test was used in the statistical evaluation. P<0.05 was considered significant. Findings: Doppler measurements in dysmenorrhea ca­ses at 12.00-02.00 p.m. showed that right uterine artery S/D: 3.27 ± 0.24, Rl: 0.74 ± 0.06, Pl: 2.41 ± 0.24: left ute­rine artery S/D: 3.32 ± 0.27, Rl: 0.72 ± 0.13, PI: 2.41 ± 0.24, whereas the measurements carried out at 12.00-02.00 a.m. revealed that right uterine artery S/D: 3.9 ± 0.14, Rl: 0.91 ± 0.16, Pl: 2.92 ± 0.21: left uterine artery S/D: 3.92 ± 0.27, Rl: 0.94 ± 0.17, PI: 2,94 ± 0.21. The comparisons de­monstrated that all Doppler indices significantly increased in dysmenorrhea cases (p<0.05). There was no such signi­ficant increase in cases without dysmenorrhea (p>0.05). Pain score obtained from the verbal pain assessment of dysmenorrhea cases was 3.6±L4 during the day and 5.8± 1.7 at night. The difference was significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: Uterine artery blood flow decreases at night in women with dysmenorrhea. Therefore, less pain is felt at night. Our findings can provide a new perspective in arranging the working hours of women with dysmenorrhea and increasing productivity.

Özet

Amaç: Primer dismenoreli olgularda ağrının şiddeti ve uterin arter kan akımda diurnal değişimlerin araştırılması. Materyal metod: Bu çalışma primer dismenore tanısı konulan toplam 17 ve dismenore şikayeti olmayan 15 olgu üzerinde gerçekleştirildi Tüm olguların gündüz saat 12:00-14:00 ve gece saat 00:00-02.00'arasında transvaginal renk­li doppler ile bilateral uterin arter Sistol/ Diastol oranları (S/D), Pulsatilite İndeksi (P1) ve Rezistans indeks(RI) öl­çümleri yapıldı. Dismenoreli olgularda aynı saatlerde ver­bal ağrı değerlendirme skalası ile ağrı şiddeti değerlendi­rildi, istatistiksel değerlendirmede Wilcoxon Rank testi kul­lanıldı. P 0.05), Dismenoreli olguların verbal ağrı değerlen­dirmesinde ise ağrı skoru gündüz 3.6±1.4 iken , gece 5.8±1.7 olarak tespit edildi. Karşılaştırmalarda fark anlam­lı bulundu (p<0.05). Sonuç: Dismenoreli kadınlarda uterin arter kan akımı gece azalmaktadır. Ve bununla korele olarak ağrı gece da-ha fazla hissedilmektedir. Bulgularımız dismenoreli kadın­larda çalışma saatlerinin düzenlenmesi ve iş veriminin art­tırılması yönünde bilimsel bir bakış açısı getirebilir. (TürkFertil. Der. 2005; 13: 345-348)
