What Causes Cramps In The Lower And Upper Abdomen?
Hi im Sarah, i am 21 and i am suffering with awful pains in my lower And upper abdomen. I had my daughter 4 years ago and had awful pains in my stomach, like contractions for about 3 months later. 2 and a half years ago i was sexually abused and had a termination, since then i have had really bad pains again. They come every 2-3 weeks and its not due to periods as i dont have them since getting the implant and its not an STI or STD as i have been getting regular check ups. They feel like contractions again and last hours and hours and they are constant, they dont dip like contractions. What is this ? My mum says fantom pregnancy but i dont know. Please help i cant do it anymore, i have a child to look after. x x x

your condition may be only psycosomatic reaction
new studies revealed highly association between irritable bowel syndrom and sexual abuse
i thought it is psychosomatic because your pain is vague,and not localized
