Our new imaging research challenges long-held beliefs about menstrual pain: dysmenorrhea sufferers may have better perfusion and oxygen availability compared to pain-free individuals, suggesting inflammation rather than ischemia plays a key role. https://t.co/AFjd7RAOK0

How bad were your first 4 periods? An intriguing prospective study by @Dr_Tu_gynesurg
suggests early menstrual pain is unpredictable, common, and continues to get worse but not as bad as you may remember. https://t.co/CBSy9QIba5

Does your bladder hurt when it's full? That's a risk factor for the development of IBS! Please see our new paper here: https://t.co/zZOOYdVR5T #IBS #periodpain

Menstrual pain is often dismissed by the scientific and clinical communities. Significant gaps exist in our knowledge about its mechanisms and treatments. Thank you Calli for covering this topic! @callimcflurry @dr_hellman

Avoiding postoperative hyperalgesia may be possible by identifying individuals at high risk, accurate diagnosis, and preventative multimodal therapy. See our recent review here: https://t.co/TOtfTJDc12

Looking forward to sharing my postdoctoral work on multimodal hypersensitivity in individuals at risk for chronic pelvic pain! Register here for a chance to see some really cool talks on neuropathic pain👇👇👇

[Kevin Hellman @dr_hellman]

@Ralia779 Dr. Li's papers (https://t.co/oJzgHCKxpK https://t.co/tl0hdzBQ0N in particular) that demonstrate a relationship between dysmenorrhea and #ChronicPain are a HUGE contribution to the literature.

Not all cramps are the same. Worse yet: they don’t always respond to medication. Our new paper characterizing menstrual cramps and their response to naproxen in real-time is out! https://t.co/79OXxTAgwi

[Kevin Hellman @dr_hellman]

Why are some people more sensitive? Is it a risk factor for chronic pain? This has always intrigued me. Rigorous analyses of EEG activity in our lab by Dr. Kmiecik provides some explanations for these questions in this preprint.

[Matt Kmiecik @mattkmiecik14]

Excited to share my first preprint from my postdoc! We show evidence of multisensory hypersensitivity (visceral + visual) in a cohort of women with varying menstrual and bladder pain using EEG #WomensHealth #neuroscience #EEG #pain #medRxiv
