Productivity loss due to menstruation-related symptoms: a nationwide cross-sectional survey among 32 748 women

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Menstruation-related symptoms cause a great deal of lost productivity, and presenteeism is a bigger contributor to this than absenteeism. There is an urgent need for more focus on the impact of these symptoms, especially in women aged under 21 years, for discussions of treatment options with women of all ages and, ideally, more flexibility for women who work or go to school.
