No: Its most likely more serious than stress. Need to see a neurologist. It could be a muscle or nerve problem.

I'm 22 years old female. I keep clenching my pelvic muscles like kegel. I think it's because of anxiety and stress. Now I'm having my periods and I'm doing it more. Is there any harm in periods to do it? Also I had little pain and twitching in pelvic?
