Menstrual irregularity is a common gynecological problem among young females and can adversely affect their physical, psychological, and academic well-being. Non-pharmacological and natural remedies are increasingly being explored for the management of menstrual problems due to their safety and accessibility. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of fenugreek seed water in regulating menstrual cycles among female students of a selected college in Gandhinagar.

An experimental research design was adopted for the study. A total of 30 female students aged 18–25 years with menstrual irregularities were selected using a purposive sampling technique and divided into experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. The experimental group received fenugreek seed water daily, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were collected using a structured menstrual irregularity assessment scale. Pretest and posttest assessments were conducted for both groups. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including mean, standard deviation, and paired t-test.

The findings revealed a significant reduction in menstrual irregularity scores in the experimental group, with the mean score decreasing from 2.93 ± 2.09 in the pretest to 1.33 ± 0.97 in the posttest. The calculated t value (7.48) was greater than the table value (2.14) at 0.05 level of significance, indicating statistical significance. So, research hypothesis H1 is accepted at 0.05 level of significant and null hypothesis is rejected in contrast, the control group showed no significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (t = 1.7).

The study concludes that fenugreek seed water is an effective, simple, and economical intervention for regulating menstrual cycles among young female students. The findings support the use of fenugreek seed water as a complementary therapy in managing menstrual irregularities.
