I am a 24 year old female graduate student. I last had sex 10 weeks ago. I am on birth control and I have not missed any periods. I have not been feeling well so I took a pregnancy test just in case, it came back negative. I am having a good deal of pain in my lower abdomen, especially around both ovaries and in my lower back. It is made worse by having a full bladder. I have also been feeling sick to my stomach on and off. I have a history of IBS as well as ovarian cysts. How worried should I be about the pain?
Hi. With the known history of IBS and Ovarian Cysts, you should be worried about the pain in the lower abdomen. I would advise you to go for ultrasonography to know the position of the ovarian cysts, any associated problems like Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. Take a course of an antibiotic, and you may be fine if this is due to intestinal infection, otherwise under clinical examination by a Doctor and follow the medicines.
