Hello, I m 30 years old and for the past 2-3 months I have been having A lot of abdominal pain while on my menstrual cycle. This is different from the mild unnoticeable cramps I m used to. It mainly occurs when I get gas or have to use the restroom during both urination and a bowel movement. The pain was so severe last month I couldnt even move out the bed, when it subsided, i went to the bathroom which was painful. today it was so bad I got nauseated. Now, I m not constipated, in fact the stool is soft, the pain seems to be like uterine contractions but honestly my labor was a lot less painful than this. Do you have any ideas what this could be? I have two children, 7 and 9 and I am in groom health with the exception of my cycles.
