Anecdotally, severe dysmenorrhoea can pre-date the development of chronic pelvic pain (CPP). This study describes the timeline for the transition from dysmenorrhoea to CPP in a cohort of new patients attending a private gynaecology clinic. In 16.4% of cases, transition occurred within one year, and within 12 years in over 50%. Our study suggests clinicians need to observe women with severe dysmenorrhoea for signs of chronic pain. Further research is needed into the transition from dysmenorrhoea to CPP, and effective early interventions.
据传闻，严重痛经可能先于慢性盆腔疼痛（CPP）出现。本研究描述了在一家私立妇科诊所就诊的一组新患者中，从痛经转变为CPP的时间线。在16.4%的病例中，转变发生在一年内，超过50%的病例在12年内发生转变。我们的研究表明，临床医生需要观察患有严重痛经的女性是否有慢性疼痛的迹象。需要对从痛经到CPP的转变以及有效的早期干预措施进行进一步研究。
