 Hello:
You did not say what the doctor concluded from your exam. Painful periods can be caused by a number of things such as fibroid tumors, hormonal imbalances and some medications. Have you recently started taking any medications? Some medications including birth control meds and devices can cause increased cramping. Since I am assuming the scan revealed no tumors or ectopic pregnancy, then you need to look for other causes. Endemetriosis can indeed cause considerable pain. You would need to ask your doctor to evaluate you for that possiblility. Let me know how you are doing.
Regards,
Carolyn
