Missed Period and Stomach Pain? Get the Help You Need
Hello Doctor,
p>My period is nearly a month late. I’ve taken 2 pregnancy tests, but both were negative. I’ve recently been experiencing gas with stomach aches and discomfort when lying fully on my stomach. I haven’t yet seen a doctor. What could be causing these symptoms?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. Although your pregnancy tests were negative, it's important to confirm your situation with further evaluation. A pelvic ultrasound can help determine whether pregnancy, including a possible ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, might be present, as initial tests can sometimes be misleading.
2. Other possible causes of a delayed or missed period include hormonal imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, or anemia, all of which can also contribute to symptoms like stomach aches and discomfort. I recommend scheduling an appointment to discuss your symptoms and undergo a physical exam, blood tests, and possibly imaging. This will help identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment. Please don’t hesitate to seek care, especially if your symptoms worsen or you develop severe pain.
Thanks
