Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. You may watch and wait as it may be due to a temporary hormonal imbalance. If the pain persist beyond one period it would be prudent to see a doctor. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
