lass="h4">Objective

To identify the parameters of blood flow in the uterine arteries in women with primary dysmenorrhea.

lass="h4">Methods

We selected women attending the Nuestra Se帽ora de Chiquinquir谩 and Central Dr. Urquinaona hospitals in Maracaibo, Venezuela. There were 40 women with primary dysmenorrhea (group A) and 40 women without dysmenorrhea (group B). Blood flow in the uterine arteries, women's general characteristics, Doppler blood flow parameters in the uterine arteries and symptom severity were evaluated.

lass="h4">Results

The mean age was 28.3 卤 5.8 years in group A and 26.4 卤 5.0 years in group B (P=ns). Doppler ultrasound evaluation was performed on the second day of menstruation in all women in both groups. The pulsatility index, resistance index and systolic / diastolic ratio of the uterine arteries in women with a diagnosis of primary dysmenorrhea were significantly higher than in controls (P<.05). The uterine artery resistance index showed a moderate, positive and significant correlation with pain intensity (r = 0.570; P<.05).

lass="h4">Conclusion

Women with dysmenorrhea showed alterations in uterine artery blood flow compared with women without dysmenorrhea.
