Irritation before period please help

hi I hope I've put this in the right place. I really need some help and hope I'm not the only one because I certainly feel like it. A year ago out of the blue I started to get irritation and soreness below around 3-4 days before my period, about 2 days into my period the irritation stops. it was so bad I couldn't wear underwear under my clothes, I stopped using bath stuff I even sat on ice multiple times. This went on for a few months then I saw I gyno. They did test all fine and a scan which revealed I had cysts on both ovaries after months of checking they think the cysts were down to ivf treatment I had years ago and my hormones and linked the irritation with the cysts. I googled and found nothing about this. they put me on the mini pill to stop my periods and though it didnt do that I still get periods each month it did stop the irritation.

I thought it was cured until this month I got it again only this time after my period and not as bad. my partner has also said he sometimes feels sore after intercourse but only when I have this irritation never any other time (I only have intercourse if I know it's pretty much completely subsided bit there must still be something there that irritates us. I'm completely baffled by this and I really hope it's not starting again I cant deal with it again. it was so bad last time I could barley walk it was that painful. my doctor said something about our bodies change during cycles and can give of some sort of acid type thing I'm so sorry I cant remember the exact words he used. has anyone else had this and how do you cope. please help me. thanks.
