Figure 3: Dysmenorrhea (DYS and DYSB) and BPS are associated with decreased vaginal pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) and more after-pain.

Figure 3:

Numbers designate vaginal positions relative to a clockface (12, under bladder; 7 and 5, iliococcygeus; 6 anorectal raphe). Five minutes after PPTs, after-pain was rated on a 0-10 NRS. * indicates worse compared to healthy controls (p < 0.05). # indicates worse compared to dysmenorrhea-only participants (p < 0.05). HC: Healthy Control, DYS: Dysmenorrhea only, DYSB: DYS + Bladder pain sensitivity, BPS: Bladder Pain Syndrome.
