| Abstract
|
| [Objective] To investigate the correlation between symptoms of recovery period of influenza like illness(ILI) in females and the menstrual cycle. [Methods] An online questionnaire survey was conducted targeting females with regular menstrual cycles who had experienced ILI. The survey collected basic information such as age,height,and weight,and also identified the pathogens involved,the stage of menstruation during which ILI occurred,and post-recovery symptoms. The study focused on the stage of menstruation,identified pathogens,and post-recovery symptoms,analyzing the distribution of these symptoms and the factors influencing them. [Results] Analyzing a sample of 514 women,we found that recovery symptoms of ILI are linked to the timing of disease onset stages,variations in menstrual patterns,and body mass index(BMI). Multivariate Poisson regression. analyses demonstrated that,compared to those with disease onset outside the menstrual window,women whose illness began during menstruation-specifically those with extended periods-exhibited higher frequencies of insomnia and cough,whereas those with unchanged menstrual durations reported lower fatigue levels. Premenstrual onset without menstrual advancement was associated with increased fatigue,cough,and insomnia in recovery period. Women with lower BMIs showed elevated coughing symptoms during recovery as opposed to those within standard BMI ranges. [Conclusion] Our findings emphasized the significance of disease onset timing alongside menstrual fluctuations in relation to recovery symptomatology in female patients with ILI,particularly in the period of onset,the utility of menstrual characteristics was helpful to gauge disease progression and anticipating the occurrence of certain symptoms recovery. This provides a foundation for evidence-based personalized medical interventions. Future studies should consider delving deeper into the distribution of disease manifestations across different menstrual phases and long-term symptoms of later stage outcome trajectories to enrich our understanding and inform clinical practices. |
