Suggest treatment for severe headache and lower abdominal pain
Patient: I'm having alot of symptoms all over the place. not sure if all have anything to do with one another but here it is.. I get CRONIC headaches at least every other day. I have a sharp pain in my lower abdomin, back pain, nausea, bloating and it almost feels like a baby is moving in my belly but I took a home pregnancy test and it came back negative. I also have the Mirena IUD Doctor: Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.All the precautions including birth control pills and IUD are not 100% fool proof in protection against a pregnancy. If I were your doctor, I would go for a serum HCG determination to rule this out and ultrasound of abdomen if need be. At the same time I would also go for a urine routine/microscopic test along with a culture sensitivity test to rule out an unsuspected aymptomatic UTI and treat it if positive. The head ache might not be related to the IUD, and could be a separate entity. I would do all the routine investigations including a blood pressure measurement and serum lipid profile and treat if any abnormality detected.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 health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
