Abstract
Bu çalışmanın amacı primer dismenoresi olan kadınlarda pelvisin pozisyonunu etkileyen kasların esnekliğine bakılarak dismenore üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Çalışmaya primer dismenoresi olan 18-45 yaş aralığında 75 kadın dahil edildi. Gönüllü katılımcıların sosyodemografik özelliklerine, özgeçmişlerine ve hastalık geçmişine ait detaylar, araştırmacıların oluşturduğu 'Dismenore Bilgi Formu' ile kaydedildi. Menstrüel ağrı şiddeti Görsel analog skala ile değerlendirilip kaydedildi. Katılımcıların fiziksel aktiviteleri ''Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi'' Kısa Formu kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Pelvis pozisyonunu etkileyebilecek kas grupları; lumbal ekstansörler, kalça fleksörleri, hamstring kasları mezura ve gonyometre kullanılarak esneklik açısından değerlendirildi. Çalışmamızda primer dismenoresi olan kadınların %68'inin aktif, %32'sinin ise sedanter bireylerden oluştuğu tespit edildi. Ağrı şiddeti ölçümlerinde ağrı süresi arttıkça ağrı şiddeti puan ortalamaları istatistiksel olarak artmaktaydı. Hamstringlerin esneklik ortalamaları minimal aktif olanlardan istatistiksel olarak yüksekti (p<0,05). Ağrı süresi arttıkça Hamstringlerin esneklik ortalamaları istatistiksel olarak düşmekteydi (p<0,05). Kalça fleksörlerinin esneklik ölçümleri düzenli menstrüasyon yaşayanlarda 15,75 ± 3,19 cm, yaşamayanlarda 13,84 ± 2,61 cm iken düzenli menstrüasyon yaşayan kişilerin kalça fleksörlerinin esneklik ortalamaları istatistiksel olarak yüksekti (p<0,05). Bu çalışmada primer dismenoreli kadınlarda ağrı şiddeti ile Lumbal ekstansörlerin esnekliği arasında pozitif yönlü istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki vardır (p<0,05). Kadınların ağrı şiddeti ile Hamstringlerin esnekliği arasında negatif yönlü istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki vardır (p<0,05). Kadınların ağrı şiddeti ile kalça fleksörlerinin esnekliği arasında negatif yönlü istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki vardır (p<0,05). Sonuçlarımızın klinikte Primer Dismenoreli kadınların değerlendirme ve tedavi yaklaşımları için katkı sağlayacağını düşünmekteyiz. Bu sayede Primer Dismenoreli kadınların tedavilerini küçük uyarlamalarla daha etkin hale getirebilmek için veri sağlayabileceğimizi umuyoruz.
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of muscle flexibility, particularly those affecting pelvic position, on dysmenorrhea in women with primary dysmenorrhea. A total of 75 women aged between 18 and 45 years with primary dysmenorrhea were included in the study. Sociodemographic characteristics, medical history, and background of the volunteer participants were recorded using a 'Dysmenorrhea Information Form' created by the researchers. The severity of menstrüel pain was assessed and recorded using the Visual Analog Scale. Physical activity levels of the participants were evaluated using the Short Form of the 'International Physical Activity Questionnaire.' Muscle groups that could affect pelvic position—including lumbar extensors, hip flexors, and hamstrings— were assessed for flexibility using a tape measure and goniometer. In our study, it was determined that 68% of women with primary dysmenorrhea were physically active, while 32% were sedentary. In pain intensity assessments, as the duration of pain increased, the average pain intensity scores increased statistically. The average flexibility of the hamstrings was statistically higher in those who were minimally active (p<0.05). As the duration of pain increased, the average flexibility of the hamstrings decreased statistically (p<0.05). The flexibility measurements of the hip flexors were 15.75 ± 3.19 cm in women with regular menstruation and 13.84 ± 2.61 cm in those without; the average flexibility of the hip flexors was statistically higher in those with regular menstruation (p<0.05). In this study, there was a statistically significant positive correlation between pain intensity and lumbar extensor flexibility in women with primary dysmenorrhea (p<0.05). There was a statistically significant negative correlation between pain intensity and hamstring flexibility (p<0.05). Similarly, there was a statistically significant negative correlation between pain intensity and hip flexor flexibility (p<0.05). We believe that our results will contribute to the clinical evaluation and treatment approaches for women with primary dysmenorrhea. In this way, we hope to provide data that can help make treatments for women with primary dysmenorrhea more effective through small adjustments.
