Hi,
Normally, abdominal pain is due to uterine contractions & stretching of the cervix while blood is expelled out & pelvic pain is due to excessive blood congestion at menstruation.

What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain And Lower Back Pain During Menstruation?
Hi, Normally, abdominal pain is due to uterine contractions & stretching of the cervix while blood is expelled out & pelvic pain is due to excessive blood congestion at menstruation. But your continued pain & prolonged brown vaginal discharge suggests problems like pelvic infection or incomplete abortion. You need internal examination by a gynecologist & USG scan if needful to diagnose, followed by cause-specific treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
