Some cramping is normal. Pain that keeps you home from work or college, doesn't ease with usual painkillers, or has been getting worse deserves a proper look - it can point to a treatable cause like endometriosis, fibroids or a hormonal issue.

Tvarvi helps you understand why your periods hurt and address the cause, so your month isn't shaped around the pain.

The essentials

When pain is worth checking

Pain that stops daily activities, doesn't respond to usual painkillers, starts days before your period, or worsens over time deserves a look. Pain during sex or between periods is also worth raising.

Common causes

Hormonal cramping (primary dysmenorrhea), endometriosis, fibroids, and pelvic conditions. Your history plus, where needed, a scan help your gynaecologist find the cause.

How it's treated

From proven pain-management approaches and hormonal options to treating an underlying condition like endometriosis. Your gynaecologist matches treatment to the cause and your goals.

Common questions

Are painful periods normal?

Mild cramping is common. But pain that stops your day, resists usual painkillers, or is worsening is worth taking seriously - it can signal a treatable cause and deserves a consultation.

Can PCOS cause painful periods?

PCOS is more associated with irregular periods than pain, but painful periods can accompany it or point to other causes like endometriosis or fibroids. A consultation helps tell them apart.

What is endometriosis?

A condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often causing significant period pain. It's under-diagnosed; if your pain is severe or worsening, it's worth investigating.

How are painful periods treated?

Depending on the cause: pain-management approaches, hormonal options that reduce cramping, or treating an underlying condition. Your gynaecologist explains the options and trade-offs.

When should I see a doctor about period pain?

If pain limits daily life, doesn't respond to usual painkillers, is getting worse, or comes with heavy or irregular bleeding, book a consultation.

Can Tvarvi do the scan?

Not yet - we don't have a scan partner. If you need an ultrasound, your gynaecologist will tell you exactly which scan to get at a diagnostic centre near you, and then go through the report with you. Blood tests, including an iron test, we collect at your home.
