Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Severe Abdominal Pains In Spite Of Being On Birth Control?
It's my first month of being on the pill due to irreghular periods, I stopped taking it about 2 days ago for my period and experienced excruciating period pain last night from which I had to leave school. I had taken two paracetamol earlier that day but they made no difference and as the pain worsened I took two paracetamol and two ibrofen at the same time but this also made no difference. I got dioreah this morning and still have an aching in the abdominal region, is this a normal thing on the pill and what can I do to stop a bout like that from occuring again? I'm very scared as I have never experienced pain that bad before, if you could give me some advice asap I would be very grateful! Many thanks
The obvious cause of pain in abdomen in your case is intestinal infection as suggested by diarrhea. You have taken paracetamol and Ibuprofen as a wrong treatment as they can not help in such a case, you should get the following : A course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotic, along with anti-spasmodic. Birth control may not be really related to this problem.
