Due to the feeding of soy-based formula
during infancy women in early menstrual age (5 years form menarche) found to
use hormonal contraception for menstrual pain.
In a cohort study published in the journal Human
Reproduction, it was observed that the from 5 years of menarche,
the women ever fed on the soy formula during infancy found to experience more
pain and discomfort during most of their periods. In an earlier study, it was
observed that the young participants assigned to fed on soy-based formula
experienced severe menstrual pain.
This analysis was carried out on the data
from SELF including 1696 African-American women between age 23-35 years. The
certainty of feeding soy formula during infancy to 1552 participants was
assured through a self-administered questionnaire. The relative risk and 95%
confidence interval were calculated using log-multinomial regression. It was
found out that the participants who were fed on soy formula used hormonal
contraception for menstrual pain and moderate to severe menstrual discomfort
during most of the periods. These results help to study the effects of soy
formula on the reproductive health of women.
