About Half of Mothers Regret "Raising Their Voices" Due to Irregular Menstruation / Fact-finding Survey on "Patience Loss" Caused by Irregular Menstruation 2026: Part 2 [Mothers Edition]

In the first announcement, the endurance and inconvenience faced by women suffering from irregular menstruation were defined as "Patience Loss." When the actual state was calculated, it was found that losses amounted to about 32 hours per year in time and about 22,000 yen per year financially. Furthermore, the survey revealed that these multiple losses—time, opportunities, confidence, money, relationships, and baggage—manifest as the "6 Major Patience Losses" that hinder women's quality of life (QOL). In this second press release, we have analyzed in detail the responses of 282 "women with children of university age or younger (hereinafter referred to as mothers)" from the survey. It highlights the profound impact that "Patience Loss" has during the life stage of family and childcare. The survey found that mothers experience situations where they act grumpily towards family and people around them due to irritability and lack of emotional space caused by irregular menstruation, leading to "regret and reflection," at an average pace of twice a month per person. In other words, once every two weeks, they regret their "grumpy selves" toward their families. Specifically, about half (46.8%) of mothers have experienced "accidentally raising their voices" at their children or family due to the lack of leeway associated with irregular menstruation. Also noteworthy are their true feelings about "Mother's Day." Approximately 74% of mothers overall wish to "be freed from poor health and become a healthy self" rather than receiving material gifts. Furthermore, about 80% of mothers put dealing with their own health issues on the back burner, and more than half of them (56.2%) are in a self-sacrificing habit of thinking, "It's fine as long as I endure it." Against the backdrop of the current situation where it is hard to realize that one's own poor health tends to affect the happiness of the entire family, Clinic For has started offering the "Irregular Menstruation Patience Loss Diagnosis," providing an opportunity to visualize one's own "Patience Loss" and consider appropriate care.
