Timely management of dysmenorrhea in women may help lessen
chronic pain.
As per the outcomes of a study issued in
the The
Journal of Pain, dysmenorrhea may considered as a common risk factor for the
development of chronic pain development in menstruating women.
A better understanding of link between
dysmenorrhea, higher pain sensitivity, and functional neuroimaging patterns in
accordance with chronic pain can help prevent chronic pain.
About 874 women aged 25-74 years were examined to find the
link between the development of dysmenorrhea and chronic pain for the period of
a 10-years. The lifestyle, sociodemographic and psychosocial features were
adjusted.
Self-reported dysmenorrhea was linked with a 41% higher risk
of chronic pain development in the women who were menstruating at starting
point. Aditionally, the women suffering from dysmenorrhea witnessed chronic
pain in other body areas (≥3 regions versus 1-2 regions vs none) and felt
greater pain interference (high-interference versus low-interference versus
none). No evidence of a possible link between their
dysmenorrhea history and subsequent chances of chronic pain development was
found in women who had ceased menstruation at the starting of the study.
