Abstract
Aim: This study utilized a descriptive and relational design to determine the relationship between young women's experiences of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and dysmenorrhea with internalized misogyny. Methods: A total of 487 individuals were accessed. Data were collected through the Personal Information Form prepared by the researchers, the Functional and Emotional Measure of Dysmenorrhea the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale, and the Internalized Misogyny Scale. Results: The internalized misogyny scale mean score had significant effects on the functional and emotional measure of dysmenorrhea mean score (p < 0.05). The internalized misogyny scale mean score was found to have a statistically significant effect on the premenstrual syndrome scale (p < 0.05). Conclusions: This study found that young women's internalized misogyny was highly correlated with PMS and dysmenorrhea, and increased internalized misogyny also increased the severity of PMS and dysmenorrhea in young women.
