Why Do I Experience Sharp Lower Abdominal Pains?
35 Female with lower abdominal pains below the belly button, bilateral(on both the left and right sides) unilateral in nature(where one sided pain occurs). Sharp and pinpoint to same location for both left and right sides, directly across from each other. happening since October 2021, coincided with period first occurrence on right side 2021 thought it was a cyst at first. Went away until the second occurrence on June 19th, 2022(period cycle then was June 8th - 16th), right side. Went away and returned September 25th, 2022 on left side this time(period cycle for September 2022 was the 3rd through 11th), it occurred again in January 7th 2023 on the right side(period cycle for January 2023 a skipped period) at this point I still thought it was was cyst like pain or even ovulation pain bothering me,so I went to gynecologist, they thought it could be large intestine related due to the location of the pains. I got an ultrasound that came back normal in February of 2023. The same day i had the ultrasound, I went to medexpress to get my physical for my driver's permit, and they suggested asking my previous pcp for a ct scan, to check my appendix. It was hard to get into my previous pcp as I didn't see them in 3 years so I wasn't established. I reached out to the gynecologist I saw in january of 2023, in June 2023 when I had another occurrence of the pain, to see about getting a ct scan. It was approved by insurance, but ultimately denied under physician review( by the supervising gynecologist, and my previous pcp, because my ultrasound was normal). I then established care in December of 2023, with a new pcpx who is suspicious that my pains are coming from ibs mixed with spasms. I am taking dicyclomine 10 mg 4 times a day as needed, but it's not really doing anything when the pains occur. My pcp also changed my dicyclomine to a 45 day supply as I asked in a different question. I also met with a surgeon in March of 2024 due to a large gallstone, as my pcp said they were common in people my age. The surgeon gave a complete different answer than what I have been given before, and he thought my pains could be coming from endometriosis. The surgeon performed my cholecystectomy, on May 29th, and did a general exploration during it, but found no endometriosis. My pcp still suggested getting an evaluation for endometriosis just to know we didn't miss anything, as well as getting evaluated by a gastroenterologist. As my pains have still been continuing. What could these pains be coming from? I feel like I will be tossed back and forth between gynecology and gastroenterology, and I don't want that at all. Some helpful info: My new pcp also diagnosed me with pcos as I fit the criteria for it with my irregular period cycles, despite my bloodwork and ultrasound coming back normal. I also had the cbc; comprehensive metabolic panel; celiac; thyroid; A1C; ESR; and C-Reactive protein all tested in December of 2023 when I met with my new pcp. The only two that came back as abnormal were my ESR at 34 and C-Reactive protein at 29.7

You have been through a lot with your abdominal pains. Therefore, considering the normal ultrasound results and the new suspicion of endometriosis from the surgeon, your pain may be due to endometriosis, the condition wherein tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus that can result in cyclical sharp pelvic pain. It's okay to talk to a gynecologist about more tests and treatments. Besides, you might want to see a gastroenterologist, too, so as to eliminate the probability of any intestinal problems causing the symptoms you are having.

I had a single sexual intercourse on January 16 and my LMP was on Jan 7.After wards I had done beta hcg quantitative blood test on feb 15,feb 21,feb 29,march 22 all have same value i.e <2.00 mIu/ml.I also got my periods on march 24-march 29.Medium to heavy flow with clots.Is there still any chances of being pregnant?Is pregnaancy is posotive with <2.00 beta hcg value??
Female | 24
Taking the data for granted, it is highly improbable that you are pregnant if your period starts after the intercourse and the tests for hCG beta quantitative in blood have a fixed value of 200 mIU/ml. On the contrary, consultation with a gynecologist is important in making a reliable test as well as in dealing with any issues.

Female | 17
There is a small sack filled with fluid on the right ovary according to the report. This could be because of hormone changes among other reasons. The sac might not show any symptoms although sometimes it results in pain or irregular periods. Most of these cysts will disappear by themselves but if they do not; one may need treatment from a gynecologist.

Female | 22
Constant bleeding can disrupt things. The injection and Parlodel were prescribed to help stop the flow. However, it may need some time for the bleeding to decrease. If a full week goes by without improvement, reach out to your gynecologist again. They might suggest different meds or procedures to manage the bleeding better.

I saw my period yesterday, but then it stopped flowing suddenly and it smells, but now I have burning urination
Female | 28
Vaginal discharge can change and have an unusual smell and discomfort during urination as a result of diverse sources such as hormonal fluctuations, infections as well as other conditions. Staying hydrated and following a good hygiene regime is very important. But please be aware that since you are having pain during urination, it is recommended that you consult a gynecologist because this might be one of the signs of UTI.

Female | 23
It looks like you have a growth in your left ovary area. This can make your belly feel sore or bad. This growth is a sac with liquid inside it. It grows on the ovary. Sometimes these sacs go away by themselves. But if they get big, you may need care. It is best to visit a gynecologist who treats these problems.

I am a 24 year old female with no known health defects that I know of. Occasionally I suffer from a severe lower stomach cramp followed by severe constipation, followed by severe nausea (with throw up). One of these episodes lead me to faint. This normally happens when I'm on my period, and sometimes they don't. I am roughly 165 LBS and I'm 5'3. My diet isn't the best but it's not too shitty.
Female | 24
You look like you might be afflicted with a serious case of menstrual cycle cramps that can, in some cases, lead to constipation and nausea. Stress, as well as physical pain, can lead to a fainting spell. This pain, as well as stress, can't be relieved by following these symptoms. The symptoms can be reduced by keeping your body hydrated, eating food high in fiber, and using pain relievers similar to ibuprofen. What you want to do on your end is to get a proper consultation with the gynecologist to learn about alternative reasons and treatments.

Female | 34
Irregular menstrual cycles often bother many people. Frequent or infrequent periods indicate irregularities. Stressful situations, weight fluctuations, and hormonal imbalances contribute to this. Adopting healthy eating habits, exercising regularly, stress management techniques, and consulting a gynecologist assist regulation.

Female | 19
The morning after pills help stop pregnancy after unprotected sex. They work best within three days but can help up to five days later. Some side effects like nausea or irregular bleeding may occur, but aren't serious. If you have severe pain or heavy bleeding, talk to a gynecologist right away.

Hormonal contraceptives do affect your menstrual cycle. Also if your pregnancy test is negative then the period delay can be due to stress, changes in weight, or certain medications.

Blood that is dark red can occur due to several reasons, including old blood or some medications. The pain in your abdomen, back, and legs during your period is also a quite common symptom. It might be a good idea to keep a journal of your symptoms and then discuss them with a gynecologist. They can recommend methods to help you with the pain and give you more personalized treatment.

Female | 24
Are you experiencing a late period with very light spotting? This could have various causes like stress, hormone changes, or your daily routine changing. Sometimes, light spotting happens instead of a full period. Monitor your symptoms closely. If it keeps up, speak with a gynecologist for personalized guidance. Don't forget to drink lots of water, eat nutritious meals, and get enough rest to maintain good health and balance in your body.

As it might be that you are already pregnant. Normal intervals may also be subject to interruptions associated with stress, hormones, or weight changes.

I am having spot bleeding during my periods it started on 6 th september still it haven’t stopped, 15-20 days before after unprotected sex i took ipill is it due to that?
Female | 20
Spotting or minor bleeding between periods can happen for various reasons, not just the i-pill. It could be due to hormonal changes, infections, or other medical conditions. Since you recently took the i-pill, it might have affected your menstrual cycle. It's important to monitor the bleeding and any other symptoms. Make sure to stay hydrated and get enough rest. If the bleeding continues or worsens, consider consulting a gynecologist for further evaluation and advice.

Bleeding with clots and tissue-like discharge, plus your cervix being partly open, is worrying. This could mean a miscarriage is happening. It's important to visit a gynecologist to figure out what's going on.
