Brief Answer:
No worries, clinical review, abdominal ultrasound,

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the question.

The causes of such pain could range from simple abnormal excessive intestinal contractions (colics) to serious conditions like appendicitis, that could require surgery.

It is important to note when your last menstrual period was. This could simple be what is called a post ovulatory pain.

Secondly, do you have any fever, nausea or vomited, any diarrhea? In case these findings are present, it would be necessary to exclude more serious conditions like appendicitis.

Do you have any vaginal bleeding? In case of any vaginal bleeding, this could indicate rare conditions like an ectopic pregnancy or a miscarriage, in case of recent unprotected sexual intercourse.

The intensity of the pain, if really intense and intermittent could also suggest a torsion of an ovarian cyst or rupture.

The possibilities are enormous. Absence of vaginal bleeding, fever, fatigue, nausea and vomiting would imply really no emergency.

However, an abdominal ultrasound, a proper stool examination and a proper clinical evaluation could be worthwhile. It might be necessary to see a doctor for a review to be calm. In case the alarm signs cited above are absent, you need not worry. However, seeing a doctor is my advice.

Kind regards as I wish you the best of health.

Please, do feel free asking any further questions in case there are some concerns I really missed. Kind regards as I wish you the best of health.

Patience for a couple fo days. no worries

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the update,

I would suggest you just wait for a couple of days. You will have to be watchful however to see how the pain goes.

In case it persists, aggravates or other symptoms like nausea, vomiting, fever set in, you might have to see your doctor earlier enough.

I suggest you just be calm for a couple of days and watch carefully. A proper diet, rich and enough fluids are advisable.

Kind regards
