What Causes Abdominal Pain And Delay In Menstruation?

I have gas pains in my lower abdomen and a slight pinching feeling by my ovaries. I am 2 days late for my period. I have been slightly naseus and my breasts are tender (which often happens before my period). I am sexually active but use a condom every time. I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative.

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

All the precautions including birth control pills are not 100% fool proof in protection against a pregnancy. If I were your doctor, I would go for a serum HCG determination to rule this out and if need be would advise for an ultrasound as well. detecting pregnancy. Breasts tenderness no doubt could also be due to premenstrual congestion, but to rule out a pregnancy, urine pregnancy tests are not always 100% reliable. Till then, I would advise you for an anti spasmodic along with a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief.

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. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
