BACKGROUND Dysmenorrhoea is the commonest complaint in the female adolescents and affects their regular activities. It is the leading cause of absenteeism from work place, school and college, limitation on social and sports activities among that population. In some places government provided 2 days special leave for women employees. But they rarely use it for this purpose. In Bihar also, Bihar state government provided 2 days special leave for women. In this study, 200 females were selected. All participants were given a questionnaire to complete in 20 minutes. They were advised not to write their name or sign and was assured that their response would remain confidential. Maximum participants do not seek medical aid and self-treat themselves with drugs or some other means as advised by their mothers or some close female relatives or friends on traditional faith with no knowledge of scientific basis of dysmenorrhoea. They do not know even anatomy and physiology of female genital organs. They do not know about the mechanism of menstruation. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a prospective observational study. The study was conducted in Gaya, Bihar. 200 unmarried, nulliparous healthy females of 17 to 25 years were selected for this study on random basis. Sample size was done at convenience.
