This study examines menstrual cycle characteristics and associated symptoms in 200 females aged 18 to 45 with regular menstrual cycles. Using a dedicated app, participants meticulously recorded menstrual syndromes over three months. Results show a mean cycle length of 28.5 days (SD = 2.3) and an average cessation duration of 5.2 days (SD = 1.1). Common symptoms include cramps (85%, severity = 6.2), mood swings (70%, severity = 5.8), and bloating (60%, severity = 4.5). Correlation analysis indicates a positive association between cycle length and cramp severity (r = 0.42, p < 0.01). However, no significant correlations are found between cycle length and mood swing (r = 0.12, p > 0.05) or bloating severity (r = 0.18, p > 0.05). This study provides nuanced insights into menstrual cycle variability, emphasizing the necessity of individualized symptom assessments for comprehensive reproductive health. The findings highlight the complexity of symptom manifestation and suggest that factors beyond cycle duration influence mood swing and bloating severity. This research lays the groundwork for future investigations into the multifaceted dynamics of menstrual health.
