It sounds like a urinary tract infection.  You should be checked by a doctor to be safe.  In the mean time, make sure you drink plenty of fluids.  Cranberry juice is especially good for your urinary system.  Good luck

This could be caused by a vaginal infection. As others have suggested, check with your gyn - sex should not hurt.

antibioticre urinating frequently and abdominal pain is present during urination, then yes, it's serious.  You may have a UTI (urinary tract infection).  Only a Dr. can Rx an\nantiboitic to rid this infection from your body.  You might want to get checked out if you are in pain while you are urinating.

If tampons are hurting, stop usuing them. Could this pain maybe be built up gas?\n\nI would make an appointment with your doctor or go to a clinic right away.

A lot of people retain water before their cycle begins. And, of course, when you retain water for a few days, at some point it has to be expelled from your body (hopefully!). So I imagine that's what the frequent bathroom visits are about.\n\nAs far as the pain, uncomfortable as it may be it sounds like normal cramping. Ibuprofen and a heating pad can help.

You likely are using tampons and toward the end of the period, it is too dry and causes irritation.  Try only using pads the last day or two and then try a lubricant for sex the first day or two after.

All women have some cramping before and during their periods due to the release of prostaglandins, but pain like that which you describe is never normal.  See your doc to talk about possible reasons, i.e., adenomyosis, fibroids, Endometriosis.  Pain should never cripple you like that; it's your body's way of saying something is wrong.  A lot of women who have Endometriosis of their uterosacral nerve and surrounding region describe what you are saying, so see your gyn to be on the safe side.  Good luck!

If you are sexually active, you may be having a miscarriage.  If not, it sounds as though your painful periods may be due to endometriosis.  Your Dr will be able to diagnosis you.  If it is  endometriosis, there are treatments that can help you.  If left unchecked, it can lead to fertility problems down the road.  Please don't suffer any longer and go to a Dr for help.  Periods should never be this painful.

It could be a urinary tract infection. Did it burn when you peed?\n\nHere's some information about urinary tract infections:\nhttp://womenshealth.about.com/cs/bladderhealth/a/UTI.htm

My opinion is that you feel bloated when you're on your period and this puts pressure on your bladder so you feel like you have to go pee more frequently.

You probably have an overactive bladder,see your doctor to find out.

While there are some remedies that can help, ranging from over-the-counter analgesics to medications to exercise to certain supplements and alternatives, you do need to find out the source of your pain.  While every woman experiences some cramping during her period, pain that debilitates you or otherwise disrupts your life should be investigated and treated accordingly.  You may have Endometriosis, which can be a potentially devastating illness.  Learn more at http://www.endocenter.org.

Does it burn when you pee?  Do you pee very small amounts?  Does it feel like you have to, but when you do go you hardly pee at all?\n\nThat sounds like a urinary tract infection.  It happens if you're new at intercourse, haven't had intercourse in a while, or have used a product in your genital area that doesn't agree with you, like a bubble bath or soap product.\n\nIf this is the case, you'll need to get medical attention - go to the doctor and get checked out.  Most likely you'll get a cycle of antibiotics.

Not at all!  I get very crampy and bloated and sex is about the last thing on my mind when I have my period.

No way to tell what is going on, pain and cramping is normal to some people during their periods. Best to see your Dr for a check up he/she will know more about it than anyone on here. Don't be scared, get a check up every year anyway just in case there is a problem, if there is one the earlier they know about it the easier it is to fix. Good luck!

Instead of asking when we are  not doctors and can't diagnose, simply call your doctor and request a blood pregnancy test.  If it says negative, you are not pregnant and need to make an appointment to find out what is going on.  \n\nIf you had a urinary tract infection, it would "burn" each time you urinate.\n\nHowever, many things give the symptoms you have..including signst that your period is coming.  There is no way to know what is going on without a physical exam.  See your doctor.
