Hi, Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum.
Yes it could happen sometimes due to severe menstrual cramps. Not to worry, you can take any of the over the counter analgesics for this. But if the pain becomes severe and if there is any associated Abnormal Vaginal bleeding, you should be seeing your Gynecologist so that she can examine you and rule out the exact cause. It is the spasmodic type of pain which comes and goes. Apply heat pads several times a day and get adequate rest.
Wish you Good Health, Take Care.
