This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the association between tinnitus and menstrual cycle disorders in premenopausal women. A total of 558 participants completed a comprehensive questionnaire covering demographics, tinnitus, and gynecological/obstetric history. The analysis investigated the correlation between tinnitus and various menstrual disorders, including dysmenorrhea (primary, secondary, or premenstrual syndrome), as well as different menstrual cycle patterns (regular, hypomenorrhea, menorrhagia, oligomenorrhea, or polymenorrhea). Among the participants, 33% reported experiencing tinnitus, with 74.4% experiencing dysmenorrhea. The most prevalent pathological menstrual pattern was menorrhagia (20%), followed by hypomenorrhea (11.11%). The results revealed a significant increase in tinnitus among premenopausal women with secondary dysmenorrhea (p value < 0.001) or menorrhagia (p value < 0.002) compared with those without tinnitus. Adjustment for confounding variables such as age, income, and psychological health problems did not alter the significant correlations between tinnitus and secondary dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia. Further research is needed to elucidate the nature of this relationship and its underlying mechanisms. Both tinnitus and menstrual disorders can have substantial impacts on the well-being of affected women, and a deeper understanding of these issues could pave the way for improvements in their health care.
这项横断面研究旨在探讨绝经前女性耳鸣与月经周期紊乱之间的关联。共有558名参与者完成了一份涵盖人口统计学、耳鸣以及妇科/产科病史的综合问卷。该分析调查了耳鸣与各种月经紊乱之间的相关性，包括痛经（原发性、继发性或经前综合征）以及不同的月经周期模式（规律、月经过少、月经过多、月经过少或月经频发）。在参与者中，33%报告有耳鸣经历，74.4%有痛经经历。最常见的病理性月经模式是月经过多（20%），其次是月经过少（11.11%）。结果显示，与无耳鸣的绝经前女性相比，患有继发性痛经（p值<0.001）或月经过多（p值<0.002）的绝经前女性耳鸣显著增加。对年龄、收入和心理健康问题等混杂变量进行调整后，耳鸣与继发性痛经和月经过多之间的显著相关性并未改变。需要进一步研究以阐明这种关系的本质及其潜在机制。耳鸣和月经紊乱都会对受影响女性的幸福感产生重大影响，对这些问题的更深入理解可为改善她们的医疗保健铺平道路。
