What Causes Missed Periods And Pain Around Belly Button And Vagina?
Hi. I am a 29 years old woman. I have not had my period in two months after being off contraceptives after taking them for more than 9 years. My husband and I are trying for pregnancy and I have had scattered different symptoms in these couple of months. I have also taken hpt for couple of times and they have been negative. It is couple of days that I have some pain around my belly button and a shooting pain in my vagina. I am wondering what these pains are and if I need to see my doctor? Is there anything to be concerned about?

Hallow Dear,
Since you have missed your periods for two months, you should assess your pregnancy status first by:
1. Urine pregnancy test or
2. Beta hCG test on the blood.
Pain around the umbilicus and vagina demand the investigations for ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is a condition in which the pregnancy gets implanted somewhere outside the uterine cavity, most commonly the tubes. Such pregnancy does not grow and ruptures subsequently causing alarming bleeding in the abdominal cavity requiring emergency surgical intervention with many units of blood transfusion.
So to find out the evidence of ectopic pregnancy, if you are pregnant, please get ultrasonography done to locate the products of conception. If the products of conception are seen in the uterine cavity, no issue; however if the uterine cavity is empty in spite of positive pregnancy test(s), it confirms the ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy diagnosed before rupture can be managed conservatively with medicines or by minimum invasive surgery by Laparoscopy.
If you are not pregnant, ultrasonography will reveal any pathology for your abdominal and vaginal pain.
I hope this helps you.
