URGENT - Terrible lower abdominal pain...?

Question

It feels like menstrual cramps, only 100 times worse, and my cramps are usually pretty bad...

Also, I can feel something moving whenever I put my hand over that area... Any ideas of what this could be? :[

It's really scaring me...

Answer 1

could you be having a miscarriage?

Answer 2

Do visit the ER. What is your  age? Is this your normal day for menstruation. Which side of the abdomen do you have more pain. It could anything from appendicitis, renal stones, perforated ulcer to twisted ovarian cyst and only a doctor can tell after through examination and investigations. Do you have burning urination? any diahorea or vomiting?

Answer 3

Ok, apendix is my first thought, if its slightly to your right then either get a family mamber to drive you to GP EMEDIATLY or call 999 and ask for an ambulance.

There are some other serius things it could be i recomend under all circumstanmces calling out a house GP mabye or calling 999 and asking for an ambulance

After saying all that, i dont mean to worry you, only rule out that it is something bad.

I hope your fine and get though this, i am interested to hear how this progresses, PM me at any time.

Best of luck,

George

Edit: if your in america, remember its 911, :) best of luck

Edit: I know this must be a scary time for you, and almost nothing i can say would ease that fear, but remember, when you see a doctor or someone, in england, in the midlands, i am thinking of you, and i am there with you.

Edit: If you need to talk to some one i am on MSN right now under the address [e-mail] also you can email me at that address

Edit: Take something to ease the pain, ie. paracetomol or asprin, but remember to tell this to any doctor, and tell them the amounts you took ect. just so they dont dose you with anti-pain meds and end up overdoseing you

Edit: For fear, some feel good music might help. Remember, im there with you, through it all. Your a brave woman, remember that.

Drink more water because it will make the pain less often or less bad, but you will still feel pain (but don't drink like crazy or else you will get water intoxication)

When to seek medical advice

If you've started menstruating within the past few years and are experiencing cramps, chances are your menstrual pain is primary dysmenorrhea and not a cause for concern. However, if menstrual cramps disrupt your life for several days a month or if you're older and just started experiencing severe menstrual cramps, see your doctor. If you have secondary dysmenorrhea, pinpointing the underlying cause is the first step to successful treatment.

Lifestyle and home remedies

You can try a number of self-care strategies to reduce the discomfort of primary dysmenorrhea. Once the pain begins, soaking in a hot bath or using a heating pad on your abdomen may ease your cramps. You can also make some lifestyle changes to improve your overall health and possibly decrease the severity of your cramps. Try these tips:

Exercise regularly. Exercise results in an increased release of endorphins, your body's natural painkillers.

Get adequate rest. Your body may be less vulnerable to pain when you're well rested.

Treatments and drugs

For secondary dysmenorrhea, you'll need treatment for the underlying cause. Depending on that cause, treatment could include antibiotics to treat infection or surgery to remove fibroids or polyps or to treat endometriosis.

You may be able to reduce your discomfort from dysmenorrhea by using an over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) or naproxen (Aleve). Self-care strategies also may help relieve discomfort. For severe cramping, your doctor might recommend low-dose oral contraceptives to prevent ovulation, which may reduce the production of prostaglandins and therefore the severity of your cramps.

Answer 5

I was going to say kidney stones at first because that's extremely painful. Maybe your appendix is going to burst. Best bet is to go to the emergency room.

Answer 6

If its to the right - Appendicitis in which case you should go to the ER right freakin now!

If not then gas or ovulation.

Answer 7

It's hard to say without more info but it sounds like it can possibly be a miscarriage.

Answer 8

do you gotta p**p? Go to the doctors!

Answer 9

SEE A DOCTOR

Answer 10

Appendicitis

Answer 11

Appendix or...it you could have PID. Either way...go to the doc. Thats not normal

Answer 12

I would immediately call the advice nurse or go to the ER it can even be appendix depending on the area or gallbladder or may even be gas pains again depending on the area. Go make a call to the dr's now!
