Hello,
It could be due to severe gastritis and acid reflux.
Consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated. As first-line management, you can take antacids like omeprazole or pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.
Avoid spicy foods. If symptoms persist better to consult a gynecologist and plan for an endoscopy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
