Consider getting hormone labs done for ovarian reserve [ AMH, LH, FSH and E2, TSH ] Also you did not say your cycles are regular. Examination may identify the cause for discharge and can be treated after finding the likely cause.
See a Provider. Get thyroid and CBC checked for anemia.
Get check-up with primary doctor.
Severe abdom pain with or without fever or nausea or vomiting is rarely going to solve itself, even if it comes and goes. Many times this is recurrent and tied to your period; then it could actually be a chronic medical condition called endometriosis that can cause scar tissue, bleeding inside your abdomen and even infertility. It can also be an ovarian cyst that can tort or twist on its own blood supply and you may lose the ovary or the cyst may rupture, causing scar tissue and sometimes patients will lose consciousness. Severe abdom pain can sometimes be an ectopic pregnancy which is always a surgical emergency and needs urgent medical attention. Severe abdom pain with fever can sometimes mean a ruptured appendix or a chronic appendix that can form an abscess and then rupture leaving pus in your belly; this will cause significant inflammation and scar tissue and can result in sepsis and sudden death. In any of the above scenarios, severe abdom pain is not going to have a happy ending and will usually require medical attention; please contact your doctor or if you are in severe pain, call an urgent care to get an appointment or call 911.
