Suggest Treatment For Stabbing Pain In The Upper Abdominal Area
I have a few concerns at the moment, I went to headspace today and couldnt get a scan (STI) done as ive been bleeding unusually for the past few days. I m not sure what the bleeding in caused by as im on the pill and have skipped my period, although the bleeding is quite heavy. Its also very likely that i have chlamydia.. because my sexual partner has just been diagnosed. My other concern is nearly unbearable pain in my upper abdominals; it has happened 3 times now, like a stabbing pain but i thought it was caused by having neurofen without eating as both times the pain came was after i had it.. but the pain has just come back and i haven t taken any

Hi,
The pain in the upper abdomen can be due to the hyperacidity instigated by taking Nurofen pill. Start taking proton pump inhibitor like Histac for relief.
Bleeding can be due to any of the causes you think of. Chlamydia can be diagnosed by testing a urine sample. Avoid sex until cured. Please exclude pregnancy, in case you had skipped pills.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
