Hi Sunny,

I too have a lot of pain with periods and even pelvic pain without periods. I did have stage 1 endometriosis.

Might want to ask doc if you can see a PT for pelvic dysfunction. Mine is caused by muscle spasm's in the pelvic region with the Levator ani muscles. I thought it was maybe pain from a gyn condition like ovarian pain but turned out to be muscle related.

Mrsd is right you might also want to be evaluated for PCOS for endometiosis.

My hormones are out of whack because of perimenopause and my periods are heavier because of hypothyroidism. AS you near your period you body starts to produce prostglandgins which in excess can magnify pain. Atleast it does in my case.

Hope you find some answers.
