Hi,

Pain during periods which is called dysmenorrhea can occur due to many causes. The possible causes of your problem are:
- Pelvic inflammatory disease
- Structural causes like fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis, etc.

As the problem is severe better to get evaluated. Please consult your gynecologist once, get examined and undergo an ultrasound. With this work up the possible cause of your problem can be identified and treatment can be planned accordingly. Pelvic inflammatory disease can be treated with local and systemic antibiotics.

In case of structural causes, surgical intervention may be needed. Meanwhile you can take antispasmodics and laxatives during the menstrual periods which can give some symptomatic relief.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sree Gouri S. R., OBGYN
