This is common in females. These symptoms happen due to hormonal changes. There is no harm in taking pain medicine for short period. Pain killers for weeks to months is not advisable. I would suggest to consult a gynecologist and rule out any serious issues related to uterus such as uterine fibroid or endometriosis. Thanks.
