hello
if the pain is above your navel ( belly button ) than its not related to your periods and is most probably due to gastritis ( acidity ) .If the site of pain is below the level of navel than it can be related to your periods ( condition called as dysmenorrhea i.e painful menses ) . Kindly visit your doctor who would advise a Ultrasound and will do a clinical assessment and will prescribe you the required treatment .
take care
