Hi, You are having pain in pelvic area, during and after period, pain even in lower back. It is not present every month.
The condition you are facing is called dysmenorrhea, usually caused by infection in the pelvis.
If physiological you may not need any medication, only pain killers may solve the problem.
As it is due to infection, you better consult a gynic for diagnosis and treatment, there may be candidiasis, trichomoniasis. Thank you.
