What Causes Back Pain,stomach Bloating And Pinkish Discharge?
I have been sexually active recently and have used protection and I recently got my period on October 13th and i know that it is supposed to be coming soon. However, I am getting some back pain when I sit a certain way and I'm bloated to the point where I can not lay down on my stomach due to the discomfort and I am having some pinkish brown discharge, I feel slightly tired every day and I sometimes get lower abdomen pain. Are these symptoms of my period coming? Or early signs of pregnancy?

Hi,
I would suggest you to take a pregnancy test by 10 days of missing your period. Pregnancy is the first diagnosis to rule out. Brownish discharge, cramps or bloating occurs commonly before the onset of periods and it is completely normal. Gastritis or indigestion can also cause bloating symptoms. Anti-foaming agents like simethicone can be used thrice daily after meals to reduce the discomfort.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
