Abstract

The article explores the intersection of menstruation and sickle cell disease (SCD), highlighting the understudied sexual and reproductive health consequences, particularly focusing on menstruation-associated SCD pain. Topics include the prevalence of such pain, potential mitigating factors like disease-modifying therapies and hormonal contraception, and the need for further research to address the unmet healthcare needs of menstruating individuals with SCD.
