Why not see doctor?
Anyway, abdominal cramps is one of the features of a condition called premenstrual syndrome. It may occur in isolation or with other complaints. It also varies in severity. Its usually seen among those that are yet to start bearing children and may not be due to any underlying cause, if we see it in parous women, we may have to investigate it further as this may suggest an underlying pathology like uterine fibroid.
Treatment is usually offered symptomatically with some ppl requiring hospital admission in severe cases. Pain resulting frm the abdominal Cramps may be relieved with analgesics, NSAIDs in appropriate doses. U may not be qualified to take some medications based on your previous medical conditions. I'll suggest you seek medical care.
