Aim: A cross-sectional study was performed among female students of a college using standardized assessment tools for their QoL.

Results: The results indicate that menstrual health issues and psychological distress have a major influence on daily functioning, academic performance, and social relationships. In addition, poor coping strategies and unawareness worsen these issues. Conclusion: The present study emphasizes the importance of specific interventions, such as mental health care and menstrual health education.
