A multidimensional appraisal of early menstrual pain experience
Symptomatic dysmenorrhea is a global problem, affecting more than 40% of menstruating persons. Cross-sectional studies have implicated psychosocial, biological, and sensory factors in dysmenorrhea but the mechanisms are not fully understood. Only a few prospective longitudinal studies have evaluated...

| description | Symptomatic dysmenorrhea is a global problem, affecting more than 40% of menstruating persons. Cross-sectional studies have implicated psychosocial, biological, and sensory factors in dysmenorrhea but the mechanisms are not fully understood. Only a few prospective longitudinal studies have evaluated such factors in relation to the emergence and course of dysmenorrhea at menarche.
This study aimed to describe the initial menstruation experience and to evaluate the association of premenarchal psychosocial and sensory factors with the intensity of dysmenorrhea during the period in the fourth month.
This was a prospective cohort study of adolescents who completed premenarchal assessments and postmenarchal daily menstrual diaries for their first (n=149) and fourth month periods (n=114). They were recruited shortly before menarche and completed baseline assessments, including psychosocial questionnaires and experimental pain sensitivity (pressure testing, bladder provocation), and their parents completed related pain questionnaires. The relation between the hypothesized premenarchal factors and month 4 dysmenorrhea intensity was evaluated using Kruskal-Wallis and chi-square tests for low ( |

This study aimed to describe the initial menstruation experience and to evaluate the association of premenarchal psychosocial and sensory factors with the intensity of dysmenorrhea during the period in the fourth month.
This was a prospective cohort study of adolescents who completed premenarchal assessments and postmenarchal daily menstrual diaries for their first (n=149) and fourth month periods (n=114). They were recruited shortly before menarche and completed baseline assessments, including psychosocial questionnaires and experimental pain sensitivity (pressure testing, bladder provocation), and their parents completed related pain questionnaires. The relation between the hypothesized premenarchal factors and month 4 dysmenorrhea intensity was evaluated using Kruskal-Wallis and chi-square tests for low (<3 on a 0–10 scale) vs higher (≥3) menstrual pain groups based on maximal pain ratings recorded in a daily diary.
Low levels of dysmenorrhea characterized the first (median, 1; interquartile range, 0–2) and fourth month periods (1; 0–3). Maximal pain ratings increased from the first to the fourth period (3; 1–5 vs 4; 1–6; P=.007). The distribution of dysmenorrhea was multimodal at month 4 with 31.6% of the participants having low levels of maximal pain (1; 0–1) and 68.4% having higher levels (5; 4–6; Hartigan’s dip test P<.001). The baseline demographic, psychosocial, and parental pain characteristics were not associated with the development of worse dysmenorrhea. The baseline experimental pain sensitivity, based on pressure pain thresholds, did not differ between the low (15.7 N; 12.5–22.3) and higher (15.0 N; 10.9–21.4]) level dysmenorrhea groups. Baseline bladder pain at first urge also did not differ (low, 6; 0–20 vs higher, 7; 0–19).
By their fourth month period, two-thirds of adolescents fell into the higher group for maximal dysmenorrhea, half reported some related impairments in physical activity, and one-seventh reported some related school absence. Premenarchal factors (experimental pain sensitivity, psychosocial profile, parental pain experience) linked to chronic pain emergence in the adult literature did not predict dysmenorrhea intensity, suggesting the dominant factor at menarche may be peripheral afferent activation. Further research is needed to understand the evolution of psychosocial and sensory mechanisms in the development and course of dysmenorrhea.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0002-9378</identifier><identifier>ISSN: 1097-6868</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1097-6868</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2024.01.017</identifier><identifier>PMID: 38290643</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: Elsevier Inc</publisher><subject>adolescents ; dysmenorrhea ; menarche ; menstruation ; observational study ; parental correlates ; quantitative sensory testing ; visceral pain</subject><ispartof>American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 2024-05, Vol.230 (5), p.550.e1-550.e10</ispartof><rights>2024 Elsevier Inc.</rights><rights>Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
