Description

The environment of working women is changing dramatically, and therefore corresponding health management modalities are required. This article retrospectively evaluated health management issues of female workers, including age and industry difference, from the perspective of gynecological examination. Regarding menstrual symptoms, irregular menstruation was common in educational and medical workers in their 30s, and dysmenorrhea was common in medical care professionals in their 40s. The prevalence of menopausal disorder was high in manufacturing and clerical workers. Thickness of the endometrium was abnormal in medical, manufacturing, and clerical workers. Thus, differences in these abnormalities were found across industries, with apparent involvement of a unique work environment and stress. For female workers, detailed consideration is needed of women’s health issues from industrial and medical viewpoints including gender sensitivity, disease susceptibility according to age, and working environment.
