Suggest Treatment For Severe Stomach Cramps And Sudden Left-sided Sharp Pain
Question: So last night I woke up with bad stomach cramping. I get it occasionally so I am used to it. I want to the bathroom and felt a build up of sharp pain until I experienced a sort of gurgling sensation in my left side. Then the pain went down and then this process repeated. I have had this happen before. Usually I believe around my period. Today I got my period, and I have had potty issues which I normally get around my period and sharp pains occasionally in my left ovary area all day. I have had periods like this before but not in a long time. My mother mentioned something about a cyst. I tried feeling in the area but I don't know what I am looking for. Is this kind of stuff normal with a bad period? Or should I be concerned?
Brief Answer:
Can be normal during period, cyst can be ruled out by ultrasound
Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,
these symptoms can be within normal range for menstrual cramps. If you are worried about a cyst or other conditions that might add to it, this can only be found out for sure through ultrasound, since feeling for it is too unreliable.
Menstrual cramps might get some relief by naproxen or similar NSAID medication as advised by your local md.
Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarifications you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
