The aim of this study is to evaluate attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in adult primary dysmenorrhea patients. 62 primary dysmenorrhea patients and 52 control group members are included in the study. Demographic characteristics such as education level and age were noted. Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms were identified by the Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Report Scale, Short Form-36 and also Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were conducted. According to the Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Report Scale scores primary dysmenorrhea patients had a significantly higher rate compared to the control group. In bivariate analysis, Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Report Scale scores were found to have an association with Short Form-36 physical and mental component scores, anxiety and depression scores. Symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder may be confronted in primary dysmenorrhea patients.
