What Causes Dull Pain Across Lower Stomach During Periods?
Question: Im on day 4 of my clycle i was 12 days late. This morning i woke up to dull ach across my lower stomach when moving. When i bend down i also am having pain in my kidney area. I am really tired and just dont feel right. What can be going on? Im drinking plenty of water. Thank you
Brief Answer:
Are you sexually active?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this pain that you have reported. The most common cause of absent menses in a young lady is pregnancy. If you have been sexually active, then we would want to explore further and exclude this as a possible cause of the delayed menses and the pains. However, if you have not been sexually active, this pain would most likely signal the imminent onset of your menses.
For now, I recommend that you take pain medications like Tylenol and Ibuprofen to relief the pains while we figure out what the exact cause is and address.
Let me hear from you and know what your response to the above question is. Until then, I wish you well.

Hi. Thank you. No i am not sexually active. Im 18 and never really had regular cycles. But this pain is new. I also feel really weak to.
Brief Answer:
Take Tylenol and ibuprofen...Further care if pain persists!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I believe this pain may be related to your menses. With no other symptoms, I will like you to take Ibuprofen or Tylenol at doses recommended by your pharmacist. Should the pain fail to regress significantly or new worrisome symptoms set in, please let me know so that together we would dig further for possible explanation and treatment.
Keep me posted and I wish you well.
