“…The painful menstrual cramps experienced by women with dysmenorrhea can be considerably disabling, having been likened to renal colic pain (Ayan et al, 2012). In various large cross-sectional studies conducted worldwide involving hundreds-to-thousands of women and/or female adolescents, menstrual pain has a negative impact on multiple aspects of the personal lives of those affected, including: family relationships, friendships, school/work performance, and social and recreational activities (Ortiz et al, 2009;Eryilmaz et al, 2010;Wong and Khoo, 2010;Pitangui et al, 2013).…”

Further study is needed to determine whether effectively blocking dysmenorrheic pain ameliorates risk for the development of chronic pain disorders and to explore whether it is possible to prevent the development-and not just treat-severe dysmenorrheic pain in adolescent girls. In conclusion, we demonstrate the extensive multi-factorial impact of dysmenorrhea and we encourage and direct researchers to necessary future studies.

PurposeTo examine patient preferences for oral and intrauterine system treatments for dysmenorrhea in Japan.Patients and methodsA discrete choice experiment was conducted to assess the willingness to accept trade-offs among hypothetical treatment profiles. An internet-based survey was administered to women 18–49 years of age who self-reported a dysmenorrhea diagnosis or experienced dysmenorrhea at least once in the past 6 months (N=309). Choice questions included pairs of treatments presented with different attributes: mode of administration, reduction in bleeding after 6 months, chance of symptoms becoming “improved”, nausea, weight gain, irregular bleeding, and risk of venous thromboembolism. Relative importance (RI) estimates were computed.ResultsThe mean respondent age was 35.8 years (standard deviation =7.0), and 85 women (27.5%) reported that they had previously used hormonal therapy for dysmenorrhea. Treatment preference was most strongly associated with mode of administration (RI=49.8%), followed by chance of irregular bleeding (RI=17.3%). In contrast, treatment preference was most weakly associated with chance of weight gain (RI=2.4%) and reduction in bleeding after 6 months (RI=0.8%). Respondents preferred oral treatments: for twice-daily regimen, odds ratio (OR)=4.90; for once-daily fixed cyclic regimen, OR=4.20; and for once-daily flexible extended regimen, OR=2.44; whereas for intrauterine system, OR=0.02 (p<0.001 for all). Those with prior hormonal therapy experience exhibited the same pattern.ConclusionMode of administration factored heavily in dysmenorrhea treatment preferences. Women of reproductive age preferred oral medication, especially twice-daily regimen and once-daily fixed cyclic regimen. Findings can potentially help to improve physician–patient communication and treatment decision making. Physicians should consider factors that can influence patient preference to optimize treatment acceptance and adherence.
