Hi

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

If pain killers are not reducing the pain i will advise you to get a sonography of pelvis as it can be due to fibroids or adenomyosis especially at this age.

Also you can try Tablet Mefenamic acid one tablet twice daily for the time being. Its a good pain killer for periods

Feel free to consult me directly
