Does weight loss = less period pain?

[riverbat]

I have lost weight from January, going from BMI of 27.5 to 23. I used to have quite severe period pain but have experienced very little pain during the last two periods.

Is this a thing? Or unrelated?

There is a research paper on this but says risk of severe pain is raised in obese women and I wasn't obese www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4517870/
