Hi,

I think that this condition of your can be due to irregularities in menstrual cycle which may be due to hormonal irregularities also. Hence, I will suggest you to do a thyroid profile test and prolactin test done. Also, start a course of analgesics for 5 days and antispasmodic Drotaverine for cramping pain for 5 days, start tablet Regesterone 5 mg for 10 days and do an ultrasound examination of the lower abdomen.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
