Abstract
Objectives: This study was aimed to analyze clinical characteristics and menstrual pattern of female patients who have cold hypersensitivity on hands and feet. Methods: This study was performed from May, 2018 to April, 2019. We checked the patients' hand and feet's temperature and those who diagnosed with cold hypersensitivity filled in survey. Data were collected from 27 participants and we divided data into 2 group; Dysmenorrhea group and Non-dysmenorrhea group. Results: Throughout the study, we found out differences between 2 groups in age, height, weight, VAS score of cold hypersensitivity on hands and feet, menstrual pattern, upper and lower extremity temperature difference, pattern identification, VAS of menstrual pain, and pattern of leukorrhea. Conclusions: By analyzing of study, Dysmenorrhea group's VAS score of cold hypersensitivity on hands and feet was $6.67{\pm}1.73$, Non-dysmenorrhea group's VAS score of cold hypersensitivity on hands and feet was $7.78{\pm}1.72$ (p-value 0.015). This shows that the degree of hypersensitivity on hands and feet is not necessarily proportional to the degree of menstrual pain.
