Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Frequent Abdominal Pains And Discomfort?
Well I haven't been feeling to good for a long time now, I'd probably say five months now. What I have been experiencing is random pains and uncomfortable feelings in my stomach. I have been to the doctors for it and they said it was caused by my sinuses leaking down into my stomach. So I thought everything was fine. But I was still feeling a discomforting feeling. The same feeling as before. And now it's mostly down in my pelvic area? I am sexually active I use protection everytime. And now I'm paranoid about being pregnant only because the pain is in that area and I am a few days late for my period. Please help I want to know what's wrong? Feel free to ask for more information... Thank you very much.
Hi. Thanks for your query and elucidate history. After reading it I think of the following causes and investigations to be done accordingly. This can be due to the stress and anxiety you have about something for which you should not really bother about, like getting paranoid over getting pregnant.
Random pains and uncomfortable feeling in abdomen over 5 months needs to be investigated: *Routine blood investigations like Complete blood picture, blood sugar, urea, creatinine, liver function tests, thyroid function tests. *Urine -routine and microscopy *Stool: routine, microscopy, occult blood, culture and sensitivity. *Ultrasonography of abdomen, *Colonoscopy All these investigations should be within normal limits for one to say you have IBS which is a more possibility in your case. Get an opinion of a gastroenterologist .
The pelvic pain can be related to the same thing if the reports are within normal limits.
