Menstrual pain is a common socially significant problem that leads to discomfort and absence from work, with a negative impact on health status, improvement of life, and personal and public finances. The review of the scientific literature aimed at the concepts in world research related to menstrual pain and its impact on a better life. The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between menstrual pain and quality of life. The study contingent is physically active women of reproductive age. 125 physically active female students at the Vasil Levski National Sports Academy, Sofia, Bulgaria, were studied. The contingent was characterized by age, duration of bleeding in days, amount of menstruation, degree of menstrual pain, and self-assessment of the effect of menstrual pain on workability. We use the Brunnsviken Brief Quality of Life scale (BBQ) in the study. A study conducted by us demonstrated a high prevalence of dysmenorrhea among young women. We consider it necessary to compile and approve a PROGRAM of physical exercises for personal and professional use by women with menstrual pain and specialists. Any effort in this direction will have an indirect benefit for personal and public finances, by preserving the working capacity of the women concerned.
