Brief Answer:
Likely normal
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
This pain associated with menstruation is called dysmenorrhoea.
This can be normally present in many females.
It is usually present on first or second day of the periods.
It can be relieved by painkillers like mefenamic acid or combiflam tablets.
However, if the pain starts 1-2 days prior to periods and remain throughout the periods, then other causes like endometriosis and fibroids should be ruled out by proper examination and ultrasound.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further queries.
