Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I m 53 years old, post menopause and suddenly I am experiencing a sharp pain that comes and goes on the right side of my abdomen at about the level of my right ovary. I don t have a fever or any other symptoms. It just started a couple of hours ago. The pain lasts for a few seconds, then it stops for several minutes before it comes back. Do you have any idea of what it might be?
There are many medical conditions that cause the pain in the abdomen post menopause. It can be a sign if an underlying condition such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, constipation, or ovarian or uterine cancers. I suggest to do a pelvic ultrasound and a visit at the gynecologist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
