The symptoms that you have described sound like colic which commonly originates from the bowels.

Common causes include constipation and irritable bowel syndrome. However, the symptoms could also originate from your gynaecological organs or your urinary system.

A more detail history and examination is required to correlate your complaints with other related symptoms. Please see your regular doctor for a more detailed discussion. Take care.
