I have been getting a lot of stomach cramps...

Question

about maybe a few an a hour at the most,for about a week, i don't usually get them unless it is around my period time of month but its not, they are moderate to painful pain, and i am not sure if they are actually cramps or something else that is wrong with my body...

Does anyone have any suggestions on why this could be happening...

(I am 16 and have never had s*x so not pregnant.)

Answer 1

ok during your period your body makes ovarian cysts that hold the eggs, that are supposed to dissolve after your period. but sometimes they dont. and when they dont you can get cramps sometimes really bad cramps about two weeks after your period when you are starting to begen the period process again.. but either way if it happens to often or gets worse you should see your doctor

Answer 2

could just be gas

Answer 3

There are several why you might have stomach cramps.

.........................................

It could be bowel movement, your digestive system having difficulties.

The most extreme case would be a stomach ulcer: when the acid in your stomach is allowed to eat through your stomach lining due to some invading bacteria.

Maybe you ate something that is causing the bacteria in your intestine to react in a non-agreeable way. For example,  those who are lactose intolerant. This is where the bacteria in the intestines have trouble breaking down the sugar lactose, causing a gas build up, which would explain your pain. But there's also excess gas - do you get  this too?

You may have a yeast infection in your stomach, which is easily treatable with antibiotics.

.........................................

Do you have any other symptoms? You should speak to your doctor, and he/she'll be able to define your problem. Maybe you'll be referred to a specialist. Since it's been going on for a while, you need to get it treated.  =o)
