What Causes Severe Pain In The Lower Back, Hips And Abdomen?

Hey. So I ve been on my period for a few days now. And normally the pain has subsided by now. But for my past few periods, it causes excruciating pain in my lower back, hips, and my lower abdomen. Also followed by very heavy bleeding. Sometimes I get cramps in my legs as well. But tonight I went to change my tampon and it came out curved? Should I make an appointment with my family doctor? Thanks !

Hi I think you should consult a gynecologist for complete examination. Get a pelvic examination done. Also get a ultrasound done to see uterus and ovaries to find out the cause of heavy bleeding and pain during periods. Get a thyroid profile and prolactin level done. Hope it helps.
