A member asked:

Why do i have pelvic pains several days before my period is due?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Carol Peters-tanksley answered

Possible endometrios: Endometriosis often causes pelvic pain that begins a few days prior to your period. Medications such as Ibuprofen may help: if that's not enough, see your doctor.
