Suggest Treatment For Lower Abdominal Pain

I have been experiencing lower abdominal pains which I naturally assumed were normal period pains as I was about to come on. However, my period appears to be late and I am still experiencing the pains on and off. Am worried there is a chance I am pregnant.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The simple tests of Urine pregnancy test and ultrasonography can confirm whether you are pregnant or not.
The pain in the lower abdomen can be due to may other reasons, pregnancy can not cause pain unless there is threatened abortion or so.
Appendicitis, salpingitis, ovarian cysts, PID. Colitis and enteritis all can cause similar pains.

I would advise you the following:
Ultrasonography and Pregnancy test as already advised.
Tests of blood, urine and stool.
Physical examination by a Gynecologist and / or a General Surgeon can help to clinch the diagnosis and give plan for the treatment.
