Abstract

This literature review examines the relationship between macronutrient intake and sleep duration with the incidence of menstrual disorders in women of reproductive age. Based on a systematic analysis of ten selected scientific studies, the findings indicate that carbohydrate intake is significantly associated with menstrual disorders, particularly when high glycemic index foods and excessive added sugars are consumed, leading to hormonal imbalances through insulin dysregulation. Protein intake also shows a significant relationship, where both deficiency and excessive consumption of animal protein may disrupt ovulation, while plant-based protein demonstrates a protective effect. Fat intake, especially high saturated fat consumption, is linked to increased severity of dysmenorrhea and premenstrual syndrome (PMS), whereas omega-3 fatty acids contribute to symptom relief. In addition, insufficient sleep duration (less than 7 hours per day) significantly increases the risk of menstrual irregularities and pain intensity. Biologically, these relationships are explained through multiple mechanisms, including disruption of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, insulin resistance, increased prostaglandin production, and the reciprocal interaction between poor diet and inadequate sleep. Despite strong evidence, significant research gaps remain, particularly the lack of experimental or clinical studies examining the combined effects of dietary and sleep interventions on menstrual health. Therefore, a comprehensive approach integrating nutritional and lifestyle modifications is essential in managing menstrual disorders.

Abstract

Menstruation is a physiological process that may increase the risk of reproductive tract infections if personal hygiene is not properly maintained. Genital hygiene behavior during menstruation plays an important role in maintaining reproductive health; however, many women still have inadequate hygiene practices, one of which is influenced by limited knowledge. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge level and genital hygiene behavior during menstruation, as well as differences in knowledge level and genital hygiene behavior among female students of the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Muslim Indonesia (UMI), class of 2023. This study used a quantitative design with an observational analytic method and a cross-sectional approach. The results showed that most female students from both faculties had good knowledge levels and good genital hygiene behavior during menstruation. Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between knowledge level and genital hygiene behavior in both faculties (p = 0.001). Significant differences were also found in knowledge level between medical and non-medical students, with medical students having higher knowledge levels (p = 0.004). In addition, genital hygiene behavior during menstruation was significantly better among medical students compared to students from the Faculty of Economics and Business (p = 0.023). These findings indicate the importance of strengthening structured and equitable reproductive health education across all faculties to improve genital hygiene behavior during menstruation among female students.
