What Causes Pain In The Lower Abdomen?

default
Posted on Wed, 25 Jan 2017
Question: Recently I have been experiencing some very mild aching in my lower stomach and pelvic region, it is not majorly painful but I'm aware of it, I'm not sure what it is, I'm now in a new relationship and am not on any form of contraception just yet. I'm wondering whether it could be related to sex or is it a muscular thing?

Brief Answer:
Do a vaginal swab

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear again!

If you fear for possible STD then it's better to do a vaginal swab for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea.

While if you have doubt if you have conceived , you should wait minimally 10 to 12 days after unprotected intercourse to take an urine pregnancy test at home.

Thanks again I do not fear an STD so much but I'm wondering could my light pain be a symptom of it?, all I have is some minor aches that are around the lower abdominal area/genital. I keep over thinking things and get worried over it

Brief Answer:
It doesn't seem as STD

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear again!

Only a light pain isn't a sign of STD but to have a peace of mind , while you have had unprotected intercourse you can get done a vaginal swab .

Try to use much more fluids and hot pads .
