Arabic SAMANTA Questionnaire for Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Diagnosis

This study focuses on improving the diagnosis of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) among non-pregnant women of reproductive age in Arabic-speaking regions. HMB can significantly affect a woman's quality of life by causing excessive menstrual blood loss that interferes with physical, social, and emotional well-being. Despite its high prevalence, there are few culturally adapted tools to diagnose HMB accurately in these regions. This study aims to adapt and validate the Arabic version of the SAMANTA questionnaire, a tool that could help identify women experiencing HMB and assess its impact on their lives, thereby addressing an unmet need for effective screening methods in low-resource settings. Participants in this study will complete the Arabic version of the SAMANTA questionnaire, which seeks to identify individuals experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding and assess how it affects their daily lives. The study evaluates the accuracy of this questionnaire as a diagnostic tool by testing its reliability and validity. Unlike complex methods that measure menstrual blood loss in research settings, this questionnaire offers a simple, cost-effective way to screen for HMB and its effects. The results aim to provide a practical solution for early and accurate diagnosis, potentially improving the quality of life for women affected by this condition.
