Hello dear,
I understand your concern.In my opinion tightening of abdomen needs physical examination to rule out preterm pains.
Preterm pains are associated with tightening of abdomen and cervical changes.So vaginal examination needs to be done to rule out the cervical changes.
Also the cause for uterine irritability and tightness like dehydration,urinary tract infection(UTI),or any other infection should be found.
So I suggest you to consult the doctor and get examination done.
Dont worry it will subside with apt treatment.
Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres per day to avoid dehydration and prevent UTI.
Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
