Identifying issues and problems in the occupational health of women remains a challenge. Plenty of evidences shows that working condition influences the human health, but a lot of the occupational health literature is based on cohorts of men in male-dominated occupations. Women's occupations are thus fluid and multi-dimensional. A simple occupational category is seldom sufficient as a basis for establishing a specific health risk. Recognizing and understanding the relationships between the health hazards on the job and development of disease in women workers is challenging for many methodological and practical reasons. Many occupational diseases and disorders are chronic, meaning that they take long years of exposure to manifest themselves. Exposures may not be completely identified and they may change well before the disease becomes apparent. If health problems are identified among women workers, too often they are attributed to unfitness for the job, to hormonal factors or to the likelihood that women will just be complaining without the real cause. The aim of the present study was to determine the incidence of menstrual disorders among female flight cabin crew members as well as the female pharmaceutical workers. Air crew members are exposed to elevated levels of cosmic ionizing radiation of galactic and solar origin, also galactic cosmic radiation generates secondary and tertiary radiation at aircraft altitudes, including neutrons and energetic photons , carcinogen solar particle events (transient solar surface eruptions) are another source of cosmic radiation exposure. Flying across time zones or working during normal sleep hours, performing strenuous task, experiences more menstrual and reproductive disorders among these populations. These exposures are different from those of other occupational groups exposed to terrestrial radiation or other shift workers.On the other hand, in pharmaceutical industry solvent use is more common and workers exposed to various types of organic solvents may be associated with increased risk of menstrual disorders and hormonal changes. This study highlights the link to find the significant association between, female cabin crew members and pharmaceutical workers, among these population who were more prominent to experience more menstrual and other reproductive disorders due to their occupational exposures. The number of women workers is increasing worldwide and a considerable proportion of them are of reproductive age. Therefore attention to effects of occupational exposures on reproductive system is required. Encouraging a good dietary practices, alongside promoting hydration and balanced simple meals, can help to address these challenges. By focusing on their health with proper nutrition is not just a necessity, it is a foremost step towards the women to empower in safe and healthiest occupational sector.
