| During their lives, from puberty to menopause, women are exposed to a number of hormonal changes that affect their daily lives, the most prominent of which is the occurrence of the menstrual cycle. The study aims to identify the extent of the prevalence of premenstrual dysphoric disorder symptoms among women in the city of Hail and its relationship to exercise. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the period from October to December 2021. The health status questionnaire, preliminary data, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), scale were used to detect the symptoms and severity of the disorder. The total of participants in the study is 556 women from Hail city. The prevalence of premenstrual distress symptoms was 85%; 19% of them have severe symptoms. The study revealed that lack of exercise is a risk factor for the high degree of the disorder; It also leads to the emergence of the main and secondary symptoms of the disorder. In addition, the age factor has a role in causing differences in the severity of the disorder; The age group from (20 to 29) is the most affected, and the high body mass index (BMI) factor contributes to the high severity of the disorder, while the incidence of chronic diseases has no role in causing differences between women. The study concluded that the prevalence of premenstrual dysphoric disorder among women in the city of Hail is high. The severity of the disorder was affected by exercise and body mass index. | ||||
