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: Its not abnormal or unusual to feel pain before or after your period
This is what is usually reffered to as dysmenorrhoea or in simple terms menstrual pain or cramps These cramps could be mild moderate or severe
It is important you watch what you eat and drink up to three days to a week before your period 
Avoid sweets chocolates carbonated drinks and sweetened drinks
Take a lot of fruits vegetables and water Also use a hot water bottle on your tummy when you feel this discomfort
If this pain  youre experiencing is severe or very discomforting after these adjustments see a doctor nor chat with one here on Wellvis 
Cheers
