Is there any particular reason why you can't discuss this with at least your doctor?

I haven't been in this situation either, but I second what Rivière has said here. Since you have observed a trend between period cramps becoming worse and masturbation, perhaps you might want to think of giving some time space before your period? There are many good period tracker apps out there that help you keep track of your period and even notify you about when you can expect your period.

I'm not a medical doctor, but it considering that both menstruation and masturbation involve hormones, it is likely that the two might have a correlation. Perhaps you could try to not masturbate before your expected period day, and see if it makes a difference. Otherwise, you might want to think of seeking medical attention (if it appears to be a period-related problem).

Take care!
