Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
Looks like mild to moderate infection in pelvic area, called as pelvic inflammatory disease. It needs evaluation by a Gynaecologist and an antibiotic treatment may be needed to cure.
Have you gone for colonoscopy in the recent past??? It is very highly recommended for you to go for a Colonoscopy. If you are constipated and there is some obstruction somewhere in the tract, you can not take any kind of laxatives then.
Another possibility, in this age group is pain of impacted fecal matter due to Constipation. It happens sometimes in females of your age. If you are constipated, take laxatives psyllium available OTC as Fiberall (7.5g with water 3 times a day). Take this herbal medication for constipation only after you are done with a Colonoscop, or your physician has recommended after physical examination of the abdomen.
Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
Have a wonderful time ahead.
Best Regards!
