What Causes Delay In Periods And Left Abdominal Pain?
Hi. I have this pain on the left side of my abdomen. I m 50. Female. I started not having my period last Dec 2014. It came back Feb and March. And now i dont have it anymore. I did a pregnancy test and it shows im not pregnant either. But the pain lingers and its no longer allowing me to sleep on my left side, its like something in that lower side gets pinned by other organs and it hurts.

Hello,
Delay in periods when pregnancy test is negative is commonly due to anemia, hormonal imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, peri-menopausal phase, PCOS, stressful lifestyle, being overweight or underweight, etc. Left abdominal pain commonly occurs due to IBS, gas, indigestion, inflammation or infection, diverticulitis, endometriosis, kidney stone, etc. Trauma to the body wall, hernias, and shingles can also cause left lower quadrant pain.
You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP. Get the recommended tests and investigations done to detect the pathology causing you discomfort. You will be treated accordingly. In the meantime, for relieve you can take antacids and PPIs, one SOS when required. Stay adequately hydrated. Avoid addictions if any. Take adequate sleep / rest.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
