Assessment

Primary outcomes

Menstrual pain will be assessed using questionnaires such as the NRS, and dietary surveys (MDHQ, FFQ, VDDQ-J) will be used to assess diet. The relationship between these will be evaluated over time.

Key secondary outcomes

Participants will be asked to complete a background information survey in October 2025, which will investigated to background information on birth weight, how they deal with menstruation, and their dietary experiences. In conjunction with the pain survey, medication status and menstrual flow volume and condition will be investigated. Physical measurements will also be taken in March 2026 to measure such as blood pressure and body composition. In addition, clinical tests (hematology tests, blood biochemistry tests, and urinalysis) will be conducted to examine biological parameters. Urine samples will be collected twice, once between January and February 2026 and once in March 2026, to examine parameters such as PGE-MUM and urinary protein. Biological data will be collected using wearable devices.
