As you are sexually active, I would think of either a PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) or an ectopic pregnancy. If I were your doctor, after a physical examination of your abdomen, I would go for a serum HCG test and an ultrasound of the abdomen. Once pregnancy excluded, other tests like a PV examination and a culture sensitivity of the vaginal or cervical swab might be considered to rule out PID. Till the reports are ready, I would advise you with an antispasmodic and a proton pump inhibitor drug.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. M Y Shareef
