Cochlear Implant in the State of Pará: Historical Trajectory and the Role of the Bettina Ferro de Souza University Hospital as a Regional Reference Center

Primary dysmenorrhea is pain in the lower abdomen that radiates to the lower back andthighs before or during the menstrual period. Pelvic floor dysfunctions include urinary and fecalincontinence and pelvic organ prolapse, while sexual dysfunction refers to any complaint of pain ordiscomfort related to sexual activity. The prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunction and sexual functionin university women suffering from primary dysmenorrhea was assessed. An online questionnairewas conducted via Google Forms, including three specific surveys: Primary Dysmenorrhea, PelvicFloor Distress Inventory Short Form 20 (PFDI-SF 20), and Female Sexual Quotient (QS-F, 2006),which were statistically analyzed using Excel and the Prisma software. The average age of the participants was 22.01 years, with 67.5% experiencing primary dysmenorrhea. Among them, only47.7% engaged in physical activity, and 51.81% used hormonal contraceptives. Most women withprimary dysmenorrhea reported pain lasting between one and three hours (37.3%) and exhibitedmore symptoms such as diarrhea, difficulty concentrating, trouble studying, long periods in bed,and impairment in leisure activities compared to participants without dysmenorrhea. The averagepelvic floor dysfunction score was 60.47, and the sexual function score was 70.95. University students with primary dysmenorrhea showed a greater negative impact on quality of life due to pelvicfloor complaints. However, there was no significant change in sexual function in the group withprimary dysmenorrhea.
