Need to examine: If the pain is limited to the time of your periods, you should talk to your doctor about getting a pill that can reduce the frequency of periods to once a year. Wish you good health!

Period pain: You could be dealing with endometriosis and I recommend consulting your gynecologist for a rectopelvic examination and advice regarding testing or possible referral to other specialists such as a general surgeon for an opinion. You should also be checked for an umbilical hernia.
