Pain that follows a cycle needs a tracker that can see the cycle. pum records your pain and your cycle together, and studies them together. Free on iPhone, no account.
A pain journal shows your bad days. It cannot show that your bad days sit in the same phase every cycle. A period app knows your phase, but has no room for pain by location, character, and intensity. Each tool holds half of your picture.
pum stamps every pain entry with your cycle day and phase. Over months, it compares your hard days with your own easier days. The result is your pattern, shown with its confidence.
A useful pain record is small and consistent. These four things carry most of the signal, whichever app you use.
Location, character, and intensity, with the time. A stabbing pain in one place and a deep ache are different signals, so record them differently.
Bleeds with their flow, and spotting too. In pum, bleeds during hormonal treatment are recorded as their own kind, so they do not distort your cycle statistics.
Your medications and supplements, and whether you took them. A change in treatment often explains a change in pattern.
Sleep, and the events you suspect matter. If you wear an Apple Watch, pum reads sleep and wrist temperature automatically, so this part costs you nothing.
Many women track while they wait for answers. A dated record of pain and cycle helps you give a doctor specifics instead of recollections. pum does not diagnose any condition. It shows you your own data, organised.
Use one app that records both, so every pain entry carries its cycle context. In pum you log pain by location, character, and intensity, in seconds. pum knows your cycle day and phase at every entry. Over months, it studies how your pain moves with your phases. You see your own pattern, with the evidence behind it.
Most period apps offer a small set of symptom tags, built for cramps around a bleed. Pain on the other days of your cycle has nowhere detailed to go. Location, character, and intensity are usually missing. pum treats pain as a first-class record on every day, not a side note to your period.
General pain trackers and pain journals do not model a menstrual cycle. Their analysis cannot separate a phase effect from a food effect or a sleep effect. If your pain follows your hormones, that is a large blind spot. pum controls its analysis for cycle phase, so the patterns it shows you are cleaner.
That is common with endometriosis and adenomyosis, and pum expects it. You can log pain on any day, bleed or no bleed. pum looks for patterns across your whole cycle, not just around your period. If your pain has no cycle link, pum reports that honestly, with its confidence attached.
No. pum is built for endometriosis and adenomyosis, and you do not need a diagnosis to use it. Many women track while they wait for answers. A dated record of your pain and cycle helps you give a doctor specifics instead of recollections. pum does not diagnose any condition.
pum gives you a one-tap export of your data, written for AI assistants. You choose the data types and the time span. pum writes a structured summary with context and provenance. You paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini and prepare for your appointment. You arrive with your pain history organised, not remembered.
pum runs on iPhone only. pum is not a medical device, and it does not give medical advice. If your pain is severe, new, or changing, see a doctor. For a side-by-side view of pum, period apps, and pain trackers, see the compare page.
