The menstrual cycle is under complex hormonal control and endometrial morphology closely reflects the endocrine status and the interplay between the ovarian hormones. The menstrual cycle continues to be the focus of major medical problems.
Present study was conducted in the Mortuary of the Forensic Medicine & Toxicology Department of Government Medical College in the Rajindra Hospital Patiala over a period of one year from 1st July 2021 to 30st June 2022 on female dead bodies brought to the mortuary.
A total of 116 cases of female came for postmortem during period of study. Out of these maximum 56(48.2%) were of suicide. Out of suicide case maximum 30(53.6%) were of poisoning. Maximum 49.9% cases of suicide were with late secretory phase. Findings of our study matches with some studies done earlier and contradicts with some also.
These findings will help in support routine suicidal risk assessments for women who suffer from moderate-to-severe menstrual disturbance. Furthermore, psychosocial treatments for women at risk should be developed to improve well-being.
