I have had pain in my lower abdomen (ovaries?) for a couple of weeks now. It is, at times, sharp, stabbing pain and the rest of the time is just a dull pain. It stopped for the 4-5 days of my period and then started up again right away. I have also had diarrhea off and on for a few weeks now.
Hi ! Good morning. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. As regards your diarrhea is concerned, I would advise you not to eat from outside if you do, as most of the intestinal infections come from food and water which are prepared and kept in unhygienic conditions unlike at home. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a routine stool test for ova and cyst, and give appropriate antibiotics if need be to cure the intestinal infection. The pain in the lower abdomen could also be part of the symptoms of intestinal infection and not necessarily due to the ovaries. I do not know why the thought of ovaries came to your mind. However, to clear your doubts and to have peace of mind, you can go for an abdominal ultrasound if need be after getting assessed by a gynecologist. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
