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

If I were your doctor, I would still go for a serum HCG estimation, a urine routine, mocroscopic and culture/sensitivity test to rule out pregnancy and a urinary tract infection. If both these including a physical examination come out to be negative, and your symptoms continue increasing or persisting, I would go for an ultrasound of abdomen, and also a gynaecology check up. Till then I would prescribe you an anti spasmodic medicine in case of pain, and also a proton pump inhibitor with a probiotic for your bloating sensation.

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.
