"Menstrual Irregularity 'Frustration Loss' Reality Survey 2026" Reveals "6 Major Frustration Losses"; Diagnostic Content Also Launched

Clinic For Group, which offers both in-person and online medical consultations, conducted a "Reality Survey on Menstrual Irregularity" targeting 628 women aged 18 to 49 nationwide. This survey defined the sacrifices and inconveniences women suffering from menstrual irregularities face in their daily lives as "Frustration Loss." The actual findings revealed multiple losses in six aspects: 'Time,' 'Opportunity,' 'Confidence,' 'Money,' 'Relationships,' and 'Luggage,' amounting to approximately 32 hours and 22,000 JPY annually. It was suggested that 'Spring Fluctuating Menstrual Irregularity,' experienced by many during the volatile spring season, is a significant factor contributing to decreased performance in new lifestyles. However, approximately 70% of respondents postpone addressing their menstrual irregularities, with over half citing "it's become a habit to just endure it myself" as the reason. This highlights the current situation where many women do not correctly grasp the importance of the 'frustration loss' they are experiencing. Therefore, Clinic For is launching the "Menstrual Irregularity Frustration Loss Diagnostic Tool" service to provide an opportunity for individuals to understand their own losses due to menstrual irregularity and consider appropriate care.
