I am 22, female and i have really bad stomach pains.It usualy starts when i am about to have my menses but then i take my IBUPROFEN (ratiofarn) 600 MG to remain stable. Because if i dont, my body starts to change temperature from hot to cold and vice versa, i feel like i am about to pass out and the cramps in my uterus are almost unbearable like i am on the edge to die, then the pain keeps coming and going with maybe 2 min apart. And my stomach begins to hurt serverly and tries to sqeeuze everything out even if i dont have any food.If i take IBUPROFEN i usually can function normally on the second or 3rd day. I dont have it every month but every other month. The doctor once told me that i had gastric ulcer and a sensitive stomach, he gave me medicine but nothing worked. And last night i spitted some blood, i checked my mouth and and my nose and there was nothing there. I didnt think it was really serious, till it happend again this morning. And the was clear blood when i spit.

According to the data you provided, your symptoms might be related to premenstrual syndrome. Premenstrual syndrome is a collection of physical, psychological, and emotional symptoms related to a woman's menstrual cycle.
The most common symptoms include: abdominal cramping, breast tenderness and swelling, anxiety or stress, mood swings, fatigue, headache.
The symptoms might be eased by taking medications containing hormones and use of Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors. The medications should be taken only when recommended after consult with a doctor.
Gastric problems can not be ruled out without further tests. The blood you spat might be originating from ulcer in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Gastroscopy might be needed to confirm or to rule out ulcer or chronic inflammation.
