Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a pain/ache in my lower back, right hand side and a pain/ache around the same place in my lower abdomen, right hand side. The pain feels the same in my back as in my abdomen. It is more like a throbbing ache than a definite pain. It is intermittent and comes and goes and can last for up to 2 - 3 days. I am 49 and had a Marina coil fitted a few years ago as I had period problems. I haven't had a period for about a year but not sure if this is the coil or my age!! Any ideas what the pain/ache could be?

Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to pelvic inflammatory disease. Women with intrauterine device are more prone to get this. If you had any unprotected sex, that also is significant for this. A gynecologic examination including bimanual examination and ultrasound will be needed to rule out the condition. If there is such problems then antibiotics will be needed and intrauterine device should be removed also. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further queries. Thanks.
