My daughter, 22, has had painful periods. Her health has been fragile for the last 3 years since it was discovered she has Celiac disease, and a number of food allergies. She does have Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and other mental health issues. She takes Trileptal. She is single and not sexually active. She has had chronic yeast infections in the past, but they have been resolved. The pain, during AND after her period is in her pelvic area, lower back, headaches. Her appetite has been low this week. She has been to her OB-GYN, who poked around and said he is not worried about cysts, and gave her a pain Rx, which only made her feel sick, and did not help the pain. Over-the-counter pain relievers do not help. **** Quai helped at one point, but not this past month. The dr. suggested massage, which she then had done by a massage therajpist. It did not help. My maternal grandmother had uterine cancer in her 80's. My maternal aunt (now 90) is a breast cnacer survivor. Any advice? Should additional tests (ultrasounds, etc.) be run? Thanks.
