Comparison of the pain pressure threshold on the pelvic floor in women with and without primary dysmenorrhea

Abstract: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Primary dysmenorrhea is characterized as menstruation with painful conditions in women with no associated pathologies, whose pain sites are classically investigated in the abdomen. However, it is known that the pelvic floor can also be compromised by primary dysmenorrhea and can be a source of hyperactivity of this musculature.

Afeta principalmente mulheres jovens, sendo a queixa ginecológica mais comum nesse público (Gerzson et al, 2014;Lima et al,. 2019;Stallbaum et al, 2018).…”
