I have been experiencing bad pelvic pain that comes and goes frequently for the past two years. The pain is dull, heavy, and achy. I am 22 years old, take no medications, and have a history of bacterial vaginosis and frequent UTIs. The pain makes sex painful most of the time. I also have discharge with occasional odd smells. My last period was two days ago, and I usually get my periods every 26 days. My last pap smear was about a month ago. I am sexually active with one partner in the last four years and have never had an STD. My periods are heavy, and my cramps are severe (9/10). What could be causing my pelvic pain, and what should I do about it?
