Brief Answer:
Endometriosis most likely

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your health concern and anxiety related to the same.
Your symptoms are quite suggestive of endometriosis which is a disease in which endometrial lining which is usually present in uterus comes in abdomen also and lines the peritoneal surfaces.
And thus during periods this lining is also she'd and this leads to all the symptoms of gut irritation.
And since you are diabetic chances of endometriosis increase further.
So in my opinion you need to get a transvaginal ultrasound and CA -125 levels done and then we can plan further management.
In case pain is severe take tablet drotin and for nausea take pantoprazole tablet and thus symptomatic cure will be there.
But don't take it lightly as it is a progressive disease and this can worsen with each passing periods.

Brief Answer:
Not an emergency

Detailed Answer:
Yes you can wait till then as it is a very slow growing problem but definitely will jeep on growing if not stopped
Right now symptomatic relief is enough.
In general -
- take antiinflammatory medicine to get relieved of pain which will decrease the inflammation also
- avoid jumping or gym during periods and especially avoid intercourse during periods as it can cause flaring up of the problem.
- extra rest during periods is also very helpful.
Take care and all the best.
