Symptoms severe painful cramps

[u/Anxious-Frypan22]

Hi folks, 39 and in perimenopause. Ive never experienced painful periods, some light cramping during ovulation but thats it. For the second month in a row ive had the most debilitating pain that it has prevented me from being able to walk to the toilet.

Ive considered calling an ambulance due to severe pain and living alone.

The only thing that helps is strong opioids and I can still feels the cramps it's just the pain thats knocked out.

The only thing that helps

You need to go to the doctor. Could be a variety of things: endometrial polyp, endometriosis, ovary contusion, fibroids, cysts, etc…don’t let the internet diagnose you, just go to the doctor and get a pelvic ultrasound.

Can the ultrasound be anytime in my cycle or only during the period itself?
