Hello,
It could be a non-specific pain due to minor hormonal changes.
As first line management, you can take drugs like mefenamic acid for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a general practitioner and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
