Should Sharp Abdominal Pain After Sneezing While On Period Evoke Concern?
Hello, I am 18 years old and I am on my period currently and I just sneezed and it resulted in a very sharp pain in my lower abdominal area. I am experiencing cramps, but I ve never felt anything this sharp and especially after a sneeze. Is this something that I should be concerned about?

Hello, It is my pleasure to help you.The sharp pain in the abdomen following sneezing during menstruation may be due to increased abdominal pressure during the act of sneezing. Sneezing put extra pressure on the menstruatiny uterus that may be the reason for the pain.If it continues to bother you consult your obstetrician for physical examination and find out the reason.Hope I answered your query.Thank you
