Hello Angela,

What you described here sounds like another variant presentation of a condition called endometrosis. This is a condition where some women have the normal tissue that lines the wall of their womb in other part of the body away from the womb.

It classically causes unexplained abdominal pain, tends to be worse around the time of menses (periods) and there may be associated pain during sexual intercourse - deep seated pain.

Why not see a gynaecologist and get investigated further?
