Dear Pelvic pain,

As a chiropractic physician this is an extremely common complaint in my office and always has to be differentially diagnosed from a musculoskeletal problem vs. a hormonal or internal organ system problem. With the cyclical nature of the pain and incidence of timing, a female specific work-up by your OB/GYN is the first step.

Endometriosis and uterine fibroids are common issues that I see in my office along with musculoskeletal pain syndromes. They can all induce pelvic and lower abdominal pain. Although there are dietary changes that can help, these issues are best managed by your OB/GYN doctor, or a functional medicine specialist.. My recommendation is to schedule an examination with the OB/GYN first to either rule in or rule out those conditions, and then follow-up with your local chiropractic physician if pain continues.
kindly get an ultrasound done...seems loke you may have gynaecological issue such as fibroids

This problem is very common and your OB Gyn has specific treatment options for you, depending on whether you're wanting to avoid pregnancy or would like to conceive.
Endometriosis has to be very high on the list, if not first

Too many things to cover but,be sure to see your doc and make sure you don't have an STD if you could be at risk. A sexually transmitted infection can ascend with menses, and

impair tubal function/fertility.
