Dysmenorrhea is a common complaint in doctors offices. It is a common cause of absenteeism in schools and workplaces. It represents one of the most common complaints in doctors offices, affecting people s personal and social life in many ways. From March 2014 to December 2014, this observational cross-sectional study was conducted with students attending the first year of biomedical university courses (medicine, nutrition, nursing, life sciences, dentistry) at Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ) to assess the prevalence of dysmenorrhea in this population, as well as the factors associated with it, and school absenteeism. To evaluate these data, we used a questionnaire covering sociodemographic and gynecological history issues. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea was 86.1%. The risk factors associated with dysmenorrhea include irregularity of menstrual cycles, intensity of menstrual bleeding, presence of PMS, hypogastric pain. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea was 86.1%. Absenteeism due to moderate/severe dysmenorrhea was present in one third of the students. In the four domains assessed using the WPAI-GH questionnaire (absenteeism, presenteeism, drop in school performance and impairment of daily activities) statistically significant differences were found between students with moderate/severe dysmenorrhea and students with no/mild dysmenorrhea, with the former presenting the worst performance.CONCLUSION: Moderate/severe dysmenorrhea has a negative impact on the university students school performance and daily activities.
