What Causes Pain In Lower Abdomen?

Hi, i am a 19 year old girl and lately i have many pain in my under belly and I went to the doctor today and asked him what was that pain(at the bottom left of my belly.). and he told me that my ovaries were so hurt. And I was so scared, because it really does hurt. I must tomorrow go to my house-doctor. And he will send me to a specialist. I have for many years, had a pain in my belly under. The pain came 2 to 3 times a year, but so hard, that I once went to the hospital, and did ECO-test and many tests, but probably I never had anything. Until now approximately 4 years after all of the strange pain that only comes so suddenly, they tell me that the pain in my ovaries may be. Now the question is ... what could it be because I'm really scared .... And I had pain for many years under my entire belly, but know is it specifically on my lower left abdomen.

Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a routine/microscopic/culture and sensitivity test of your urine, an unsuspected UTI being one of the common causes of such chronic and recurrent pain in the lower abdomen. Once this is excluded, then we could go for other investigations like a complete blood count, and an ultrasound/CT scan of the abdomen during the period when you get pain. Till that you could go for an anti spasmodic drug for a symptomatic relief. Further management would depend on the results of a clinical assessment by a gynaecologist, and reports of the related investigations.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
