Question : Hi I'm a 38 year old female I am on my last day of my period light brown discharge which is typical for me on my last day this morning I had a mild achy feeling around my right hip similiar to what I feel when ovulating while urinating I had been holding in my urine for an hour or two I was to lazy to get out of bed once I finished urinating the feeling had past and has not occurred since the question I have is what could have caused this type of pain and should I be concerned
Brief Answer:
No need to get worried now!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about what you experienced. I have reviewed this information fully and this pain is probably related to the urine retention that you voluntarily caused. Urine retention presents with a distended bladder, this leads to compression of surrounding structures that can lead to irritation of nerves that pass through the pelvis. This would cause pain along the path of this nerve. That is probably what happened. There is no reason to get worried about this.
I will recommend that you empty your bladder as soon as you get the urge as this can help reduce the risk of a possible urinary tract infection.
I hope this helps. I wish you well and thank you so much for using our services. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
