Is Sharp Pain In Stomach At The Start Of Period A Cause For Concern?
I m used to having really bad cramps right before I start my period, but this time it s different. It s only on my right side and it s not in the same place I usually cramp in. It s a sharp pain that feels like a knife and radiates to the same area in my back. Should I be concerned? This just started a few hours ago.
