Abstract:

Another form of menstrual disorder is the premenstrual syndrome or pms. This is characterized by uncomfortable mental and physical symptoms that can occur up to two weeks prior to the onset of menstruation. Though most experts believed that it is caused by the estrogen level, they also consider that a combination of psychological, genetic, nutritional, and behavioral factors are likely to be involved. Some psychological manifestations of PMS include irritability, anger, confusion, forgetfulness and the exacerbation of existing psychiatric ailments. Physical symptoms include tenderness of breasts,  nausea, changes in energy level, swelling of arms and legs, feeling bloated, back pain and difficulty in sleeping. The study was undertaken with the aim to observe the effect of yogic practices with and without deep Relaxation technique on Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone  (TSH) among Irregular Menstrual Disordered Government School Girls . For this study totally 45 female students were selected as subjects from Kanchipuram. Their age ranged between 15 to 18  years. They were divided in to three groups. Experimental group I –yogic practices with deep Relaxation technique, Experimental group II- yogic practices without deep Relaxation technique and group III –control group (no intervention). The data was collected from three groups prior to training and after 6 weeks of yogic practices with and without deep Relaxation technique. Analysis of covariance was used to find out the significant difference between the three groups. The level of significance at 0.05%. The results proved that the regular yogic practices and deep Relaxation technique helped to significantly reduce the biochemical variable TSH.
