dc.description.abstractIntroduction: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of using Vitex agnus-castus (VAC) plant on menstrual and menopausal symptoms in district where VAC is commonly used. Methods: The menstrual and menopausal symptoms of a total of 225 women aged between 18-65, living in Ayd & imath;n province, Turkey, and its districts, who either used VAC or not were compared, following purposive sampling method. The research data were collected with an online survey form between March and December 2021. The data collected from the women in the VAC group (n=104, 46.2%) and the women in the non-VAC (n=121, 53.8%) group were compared in this study. Results: It was found that the rate of experiencing symptoms before menstruation was higher in women who did not take VAC compared to the women who took VAC (P < 0.05). Almost all of those who experienced menopausal symptoms were in the group that did not take VAC. Conclusion: The type, duration and time of VAC use were associated with the effect of menstruation on daily life, but not with menopausal symptoms.
