What Causes Sharp Pain In Abdomen Post Menopause?
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?

Hello,
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.
