  1. Rho: Spearman rank correlation coefficient. a Chi-square test showed the proportions of women with delayed menstruation (χ2 = 11.175, P = 0.004) and menstrual change (χ2 = 10.571, P = 0.001) were higher in the fever group than in the non-fever group. b Chi-square test showed no significant variation among groups with different symptoms. c Chi-square test showed that the proportions of women with increased menstrual volume (χ2 = 8.074, P = 0.018) and worse dysmenorrhea (χ2 = 5.285, P = 0.022) were higher in the group with body aches and pains than in the group with no body aches and pains. d Chi-square test showed the proportion of menstrual change (χ2 = 9.697, P = 0.002) in the sore throat group was higher in the no sore throat group. e Chi-square test showed that the proportions of worsen with dysmenorrhea (χ2 = 6.755, P = 0.009) and menstrual change (χ2 = 9.276, P = 0.002) were greater in the headache group than in the no-headache group
