Pain can be caused by any organ in the abdomen and it may be difficult without tests like ultrasound to establish the exact cause. Discomfort with the onset of a period is common. Sometimes a problem like endometriosis can cause severe pain and cysts can be seen. These cysts are often on or near the ovary. The ovaries produce a cyst each month. These usually resolve around the time of the next period, but sometimes they can become larger and tender. |

The bowel can cause pain which can be in different positions at different times. It is usually a dull crampy pain and can be related to diet and stress. |
