Abstract:
What's new? Menstrual pain has been associated with increased risk of ovarian cancer in some, but not all studies. This large international pooled analysis of case‐control studies shows a small increase in risk of ovarian cancer for women reporting severe menstrual pain. Since severe menstrual pain is a common condition, even a small increase in risk would translate into a substantial impact on a population level. The possibility of recall bias and undiagnosed endometriosis could however not be excluded, calling for the further examination of this association in prospective studies.
