This study aims to estimate the prevalence of menstrual abnormalities and their associated factors among ESRD women in reproductive age undergoing chronic hemodialysis (HD) in Egypt.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Thirty\u2010five dialysis centers were selected by simple random sampling to represent the different regions of Egypt. Non\u2010pregnant women in the reproductive age (15\u201350\u2009years) receiving dialysis at the participating centers completed a questionnaire about their menstrual health during a routine hemodialysis session. Their responses were verified by reviewing the medical records and assessing their clinical data.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Out of the 472 women, 32.6% had amenorrhea. Menstrual irregularities were reported in 37% of the menstruating women. Premenstrual tension syndrome (PMS) was reported in 70% while dysmenorrhea in 58%. Amenorrhea was more prevalent in non\u2010working women who started hemodialysis after the age of 30. PMS was more encountered in women with hypertension or in those with obstructive uropathy or autoimmune disease as a cause of ESRD. Dysmenorrhea was more prevalent among patients with autoimmune disease or chronic hepatitis C virus and those who started dialysis after the age of 30.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Secondary amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, and PMS are common among premenopausal women with ESRD on dialysis. Several factors including socio\u2010economic factors, cause of ESRD, and hypertension contribute to these disorders. Future studies are needed to understand the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms and management of these abnormalities.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/sdi.13059","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,6]],"date-time":"2022-02-06T23:03:21Z","timestamp":1644188601000},"page":"348-357","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Amenorrhea,
