Is it normal to have stomach pain a week before your period?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is it normal to have stomach pain a week before your period?

Doctor's answer:

Here is the English translation of the provided text, with the return characters kept as they are:
"Three to five days before your menstrual period, your diet should be light and easy to digest. You should eat foods that are easy to digest and avoid overeating. In particular, you should avoid cold and raw foods, as they can stimulate the contraction of the uterus and fallopian tubes, which may induce or worsen menstrual cramps. Once your menstrual period has started, you should avoid all cold, difficult-to-digest, and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, raw scallions, raw garlic, pepper, and strong alcohol. During this period, patients can appropriately consume some sour foods, such as pickled vegetables and vinegar, as sour foods can help alleviate pain. Patients with menstrual cramps should have a varied diet and avoid being picky about food."
