Question: Hello

Please Ive been having mild stomach pains mostly before my period or right after Sometimes the pain is sharp and consistent Other times I dont feel it at all

My period usually lasts for 4 days and then I spot on day 6 

Have always had irregular periods without  But recently the periods became regular I want to know if the regularity is the reason for the pain
Answer: Hello it is normal to feel a slight lower abdominal pain few days before your menses this is in preparation for your menses but if you have lower abdominal pain shortly after your menses you need to see a medical Doctor to rule out infection of the womb and its surroundings referred to as pelvic inflammatory disease  The regularity of your period is not the reason for the pain The regularity of your menses indicates that you are healthy and fertile
Thank you
