Abstract Objective: To investigate the association of reproductive tract infection and the risk of irregular menstruation among married women of childbearing age, to provide a reliable basis for reducing and preventing their irregular menstruation risk, and improve woman's reproductive health. Methods: Using data from the survey on the health and risk factors among couples of childbearing age before pregnancy conducted in five provinces, this study analyzed the situation of irregular menstruation and reproductive tract infections among 8691 married women of childbearing age with descriptive methods, and explored the association of reproductive tract infection and the risk of irregular menstruation among married women of childbearing age by binary-logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of irregular menstruation among married women of childbearing age was 17.6%, and the risk of irregular menstruation among married women of childbearing age with reproductive tract infections was 1.56-fold (95% CI: 1.38 -1.76) of those without reproductive tract infections when controlling the age, educational level and economic status. Conclusion: Reproductive tract infection may be a risk factor for the irregular menstruation of married women of childbearing age, suggesting that reproductive health education should be strengthened to help reduce the risk of their irregular menstruation for married women of childbearing age.
