So I have cramps a lot. Not constantly but more than just the week before my period. They aren't hurtful, more just annoying. My annual check ups are all good. Nothing wrong there.

But! The past few days the cramps have been really painful. Not to where I'm crying but enough for me to kinda silently scream. Only lasts for a few seconds then I'm good and a few hours later it'll happen again. I recently started working out more and eating more protein things so idk if that could be cause but...yeah. do you think its something I should go see about ASAP or just see how it goes and at my next annual tell my doctor?
