What Causes Delayed Periods Along With Abdominal Cramps And Bloating?

My period is 5 days late. I took a pregnancy test and it is negative. I still have been having severe anxiety over being pregnant and I think it is causing my to have stomach problems. I feel bloated, my stomach feels really tight, and I keep getting cold easily. Should I go to my doctor?

Hello,

You are having delayed periods and also experiencing bloating associated with abdominal cramps. Periods can be delayed due to anemia, poor general health condition, hormonal imbalance, PID / PCOS, etc. However, if you are sexually active it can be indicative of implantation cramps, early sign of pregnancy or miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, etc. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a Gynae, get required tests and investigations done.

Stay at rest, avoid doing any hard work. Take home made nutritious food. Stay away from addictions if any. To avoid getting cold you can take warm beverage or warm soup, wear warm clothes. You can take PPIs, one stat when required to get relieve from bloating. You can even take Digene gel if other medicine is not available for relief. You will be managed and treated according to the diagnosis done.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
