Endometriosis?: The combination of painful menstruation combined with irregular bleeding suggests the possibility of endometriosis. Several other c conditions also are possible. Any new, unexplained or abnormal vaginal bleeding or pelvic pain needs medical attetion, and you have both. See a doctor soon. Good luck.
