Low Serum Oxytocin Concentrations Are Associated with Painful Menstruation.
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1007/s43032-019-00071-y

Oxytocin-dependent mechanisms are hypothesized to contribute to painful menses, but clinical trials of oxytocin antagonists for dysmenorrhea have had divergent outcomes. In contrast, broader studies have shown that increased systemic oxytoc…

Persistent autonomic dysfunction and bladder sensitivity in primary dysmenorrhea.
Scientific reports ·doi:10.1038/s41598-019-38545-3

Menstrual pain, also known as dysmenorrhea, is a leading risk factor for bladder pain syndrome (BPS). A better understanding of the mechanisms that predispose dysmenorrheic women to BPS is needed to develop prophylactic strategies. Abnormal…

Abdominal skeletal muscle activity precedes spontaneous menstrual cramping pain in primary dysmenorrhea.
American journal of obstetrics and gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.ajog.2018.04.050

BackgroundDysmenorrhea is a pervasive pain condition that affects 20-50% of reproductive-aged women. Distension of a visceral organ, such as the uterus, could elicit a visceromotor reflex, resulting in involuntary skeletal muscle activity a…

Identification of experimental bladder sensitivity among dysmenorrhea sufferers.
American journal of obstetrics and gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.ajog.2018.04.030

BackgroundDysmenorrhea is a common risk factor for chronic pain conditions including bladder pain syndrome. Few studies have formally evaluated asymptomatic bladder pain sensitivity in dysmenorrhea, and whether this largely reflects excess …
