What Causes Pain On Left Side Of Pelvic Area?
detailed below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
There are some possible options that can explain this pain on the left side of pelvic area and delayed period:
-You might be pregnant and it is too early for the otc pregnancy tests to detect it.You should wait 1 week one week after a missed period for the home pregnancy tests to be acurate.
-An ovary cyst can cause such pelvic pain and missed periods.Usually the pain starts in the middle of menstrual cycle.
Usually these cysts resolve on their own ,without treatment.
-The other options is that the cause of the pain is not related to reproductive tract (ovaries,uterus, pregnancy ).
I would suggest to wait some days.
Taking Ibuprofen or Tylenol for the pain and applying hot pads can relieve the discomfort.
If you took the pregnancy tests too early ,you can repeat the test after 3-4 days .
If in 3-4 days ,the pain doesn't seem to go away, the pregnancy test is negative ,you should consult your doctor.
You may need to do a pelvic ultrasound to evaluate the presence of cysts in left ovary.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any other question.I will be happy to help.
Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena
