I ve had a dull throbbing ache in the right lower part of my abdomen. I just recently got off of birth control (depo provera) after being on it for 14 years. Could I be having symptoms of having a upcoming menstrual cycle already. If not how long to wait to see a doctor if the throbbing pain persists?What a scam.
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. You were on Demo Proverb for 14 years and suppressed the hormonal axis. It will take a lot of time for your body-clock of hormones to set us and hence it is better to check hormone levels. The cause of the right lower abdominal pain can be over-activation of the Ovary, either there is ovulation or so, causing the pain in lower abdomen. It is better to see a Gynecologist and undergo ultrasonography to clear the matter and to have some treatment only if required.
