Link Between Depression and Period Pain: Genetic Findings

Abstract:

A study suggests depression may cause menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea) due to shared genetic pathways, increasing its likelihood by 51%. Using genetic data from 600,000+ people, researchers found sleeplessness may amplify this link. While the findings deepen the discussion on mental health and menstrual pain, experts advise caution in interpreting causality.
