To compare the effect of stretching and core strengthening exercises on Primary Dysmenohrrea in Young females

Abstract

Background: Primary dysmenorrhea is defined as difficulty in menstrual flow in the absence of any pelvic pathology. It is the most common gynaecological problem among adolescent females. Incidence of primary dysmenorrhea was reported to be between 50% and 90% in different societies. Several studies have shown that the reduction of dysmenorrhea in women, who regularly exercise may be due to effects of hormonal changes on uterine epithelial tissues or an increase in endorphin levels. It appears that exercise has analgesic effects that act in a non-specific way. Study aim: To compare the effect of stretching and core strengthening exercises on primary dysmenorrhea.
