A normal menstrual cycle in terms of regularity, length, flow and duration is an indicator of the health status of a woman. If there is any change in these characteristics due to any reason, it may affect the overall health. So, this study aimed to observe the relation between the menstrual cycle regularity in adolescent girls with their temperaments. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 294 unmarried healthy menstruating females aged 18–28 years selected from different faculties of Aligarh Muslim University. Standardized self-reporting questionnaires were used to obtain relevant data. The categorical data were analyzed using the student t-test and z test. The volunteers were divided according to the status of their menstrual regularity into two groups. Group I: Regular, Group II: Irregular. Out of 120 Damvi temperaments, 105 (87.5%) volunteers say they were having regular periods whereas 15 (12.5%) subjects had complaints of menstrual irregularities. In the Balghami group, 47 out of 64 (73.3%) subjects were placed in the regular group and 17 (26.5%) in an irregular category. In the Safrawi group, 97 out of 110 (88.18%) volunteers were satisfied with their menstrual regularities as 13 (11.81%) complained of an irregular menstrual cycle. In this study, it is concluded that girls with Balghami (Cold) temperament have more irregular menstrual cycle in comparison to Damvi and Safrawi (Hot) temperament.
