Pain in the lower abdomen and pelvic area. Could this be PMS?
Patient: I have lower abdominal pain . Around my pelvic area more at my right side. I am also having headaches and random back pain and tender breasts, on and off.. My upper legs hurt too...It looks like PMS as I should be having my period anytime now. Last month I had it at the 11th. Could there be any other reason? It s the first time these symptoms Are occuring. Especially the pain pain in the abdomen Doctor: Hi there,  Thanks for writing in.  Most likely what are experiencing might be symptoms of PMS. It should get better in 2-3 days, once you get your periods.  I'm assuming you don't have any other symptoms like vomiting , or high grade fever, which if present might point to some other pathology.  Meanwhile you might want to take a meftal spas tablet for symptomatic pain relief.  Drink warm water at regular intervals.  Hope this helps.  Regards, Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
