Feeling Twitching And Painful Sensation In Abdomen. Not Pregnant. What Can This Be?
My questions are:
1. Is this my uterus twitching?
2. Could this be brought on by the pelvic exam I had yesterday?
3. Is is something serious?
4. Do I need to let my OB/GYN know what is going on?
5. Can this be related to menopause?
6. Could it be stress related?
I am little concerned that this came on so suddenly and has been continuing every few minutes since waking up this morning. Please advise.
Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments regarding your queries:
1) The twitching is possibly not due to uterine cause as it is not painful. Next thing your annual pelvic examination and overall health checkup are also normal. It may be occurred by some factors like stress, muscle spasm, menopause, indigestion problem, hypertension etc.
2) The following day twitching sensation is possibly not related to previous day pelvic examination. Above mentioned factors are mostly associated with that.
3) In my opinion, it does not looks like so serious but you need to eliminate predisposing factors after consultation with your doctor.
4) Yes, you may consult with your OBGYN or healthcare provider for a clinical examination. It will give more detailed information and supportive medication may be required.
5) Yes, it may be associated with menopausal symptoms/ stress. But, mostly it looks like a muscle spasm as you have gotten it suddenly after waking up.
You will get some relief after doing some light exercise, taking healthy diet and consuming more fluid. Also, you need to practice regular meditation or deep breathing exercise to reduce mental stress.
Hope, it helps for your information. If you have any other query, you can freely ask me.
Wishing your good health and take care yourself.
