In keeping with my interest in the female reproductive field, I am planning to write my news brief on research which explains why women might have an irregular menstrual cycle and/or the long-term implications of an irregular menstrual cycle.
I have found the following articles which sparked my interest. I could focus on one, or two or three that are most closely related, or draw examples from all of them for a non-comprehensive overview of stuff women with irregular menstrual cycles might like to know about the research therein:
"Menstrual Cycle Dysfunction Associated with Neurologic and Psychiatric Disorders"
"Long or Highly Irregular Menstrual Cycles as a Marker for Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus"
"Long or Highly Irregular Menstrual Cycles as a Marker for Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus"
"The Relationship between Premenstrual Symptoms, Menstrual Pain, Irregular Menstrual Cycles, and Psychosocial Stress among Japanese College Students"
"Influence of anthropometric measures and socio-demographic factors on menstrual pain and irregular menstrual cycles among university students in Bangladesh"
"Yoga Nidra as a complementary treatment of anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients with menstrual disorder"
There was also one about medical residents studying to get MDs of some sort (clearly I am very familiar with this field, not) and their irregular menstrual cycles, which would relate to the articles about stressed-out Japanese students and Bangladeshi students — but I can't seem to find it again at the moment (probably because I can't remember the words I should be searching).
I know it's almost the weekend and probably nobody will look at this, but if you happen upon it I would love your input on the angle you would most enjoy reading (which of the above titles most captivated your interest? which, if any, did you click on to read more about?).
My thoughts at the moment are that I should focus on two or three articles on a similar subject. And since I'm a student, I'm leaning towards the articles about students. I think I could even frame it as if I was writing for a science-related college newspaper (maybe I'll persuade the Exponent to publish it...ha ha).
The last article about using yoga to treat menstrual disorder I think would be an interesting factoid to include at the end, kind of a more cheerful way to end the article. But, I only have 600 words, so that may or may not happen (and I think it will be clear when I write it whether it will be relevant to include or not).
Thanks, have a great weekend.
