I am having severe menstrual cramps that make me faint and cause unbearable pain. I suspect it might be endometriosis. I experience frequent cramping during ovulation, before, and during my period, which lasts for an hour to a couple of hours. My last period started today and is more regular than not. I am currently using Midol and Tylenol, and I am 18 years old. I also have a history of chronic UTI infections. What could be causing my symptoms and what should I do next?

I'm experiencing very painful cramps and have vomited twice today. The cramps come and go several months apart, but this is the worst episode. They usually last a couple of days, with vomiting typically occurring on the first day. I haven't kept track of my last period, but it feels regular. I'm 29 years old and have tried taking Tylenol, but it didn't stay down. I've never had a physical. The cramps are located in the left lower abdomen and range from an 8 to a 10 on the pain scale. I've had more frequent bowel movements today, about 3 or 4 small, formed, soft bowel movements. There is no chance of pregnancy as I haven't had sex in several years, and my periods are irregular, sometimes with no pain or cramping, and sometimes extremely painful like today. I have no appetite and don't feel like eating.
