To examine the relationships between attitudes towards menstruation, health, and behavioral characteristics.
The 136 women who completed questionnaires varied in their sexual activity, sexual orientation, and use of hormonal contraception.
Women's estimated cycle length was accurate when compared to observed cycle length (F (3,156) = .05; P = .98). Smokers had decreased durations of flow (P < .01). Depo-Provera users were less likely to view menstruation as natural compared to abstinent, sexually active heterosexuals or those using traditional oral contraception (F (5,141) = 2.43; P = .04).
Hormonal contraception use, but not sexual orientation, was associated with attitudes about menstruation.
探讨对月经的态度、健康状况和行为特征之间的关系。
完成问卷调查的136名女性在性活动、性取向和激素避孕使用方面存在差异。
与观察到的月经周期长度相比，女性估计的周期长度较为准确（F(3,156)=.05；P=.98）。吸烟者的经期持续时间缩短（P<.01）。与禁欲者、性活跃的异性恋者或使用传统口服避孕药的人相比，使用醋酸甲羟孕酮的女性不太可能将月经视为自然现象（F(5,141)=2.43；P=.04）。
激素避孕的使用而非性取向与对月经的态度有关。
