What Causes Irregular Periods, Sharp Abdominal Cramps And Spotting During Periods?

Hi Doctor, I have been having some issues, about 2 months ago i went to the ER because I had extreme pain in my right ovarie. They did a papsmere, Told me everything was normal and healthy and that a cyst had probably just burst. Since then and slightly before my period has not been normal. for 3 months it came every 3 weeks which is abnormal because I have always had a normal cycle coming every 28 days. Last month I though it was going back to normal but it was a week late past the normal cycle of 28 days and it only spotted for 6 days which i always have a very heavy flow. Now my period was due yesterday and still has not arrived at this time but I have such sharp cramps for the past couple of days. For awhile I though I may have been pregnant because I searched my symptoms and all seemed to match pregnancy minus the tender breasts but between last month and even this morning i have taken atleast 7 tests all negative. Any Idea what could be going on? I called my OBGYN and they said I could come in but they cant tell me anything, unless I am seen. But If I was just at the ER two months ago and everything was fine then they are not sure what could be wrong.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

For investigations of irregular menstruations, you may be asked for hormonal work up like FSH, LH, Oestrogen, Progesterone, Prolactin, etc. Before hormonal check-up, you will be examined internally to find any organic disease like infection or cyst-Ultrasonography also will reveal a good amount of information regarding your internal organs (and even pregnancy also).
Avoid stress, take a healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
