Background and Aim: Menstrual distress and menstrual irregularities are dimensions of menstrual disorders that have a significant impact on women's life. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between menstrual distress and its dimensions with menstrual patterns in female students in Sardasht, 2019. Materials and Methods: The present study was a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study. Participants were 393 female students of Sardasht universities, who were enrolled in the study. After obtaining informed consent, participants completed a checklist for demographic and menstrual characteristics and a menstrual distress questionnaire (MDQ). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA and t-test with SPSS software (version 16). (P=0/05) Results: The mean age of participants was 23 ± 4.08 years. 75.5% of participants had normal menstrual duration, 73.5% had normal menstrual blood volume, and 89.4% had.normal interval between two menstrual cycles. Examination of menstrual distress score showed that the majority of participants (50.6%) had mild menstrual distress. Menstrual distress score was related to water retention dimension (2.98 ± 2.78) and pain score was related to pain dimension (9.75± 4.66). There was no significant relationship between the duration of menstrual bleeding and menstrual distress and the interval between two menstrual cycles with menstrual distress (p>0.05). There was a significant relationship between menstrual blood volume and menstrual distress (p
