Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
Urine pregnancy test is not a 100% confirmatory test for pregnancy. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a serum HCG test followed by an ultrasound of the abdomen to rule out a pregnancy and other intra abdominal pathology with certainty. In addition I would also advise you for a urine routine/microscopic and culture sensitivity test to rule out a UTI and treat it if positive. Till then, I would advise you with an anti spasmodic if the abdominal discomfort is severe.
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.
