Severe Abdominal Pain & Shortness of Breath: Causes & What to Do

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

1. If you've missed a period, this could be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy, an infection, or a miscarriage. It's important to get checked out as soon as possible before the condition worsens. Tests like a pregnancy test, ultrasound, and urine and blood tests will help diagnose the issue. This could be an emergency, so timely medical attention is crucial.

2. However, if your periods are still regular, then the cause might be something like appendicitis, a gut infection, or a urinary tract infection. In any case, it’s essential to undergo relevant tests to determine the exact cause, and treating the condition accordingly is necessary for your well-being.

Thanks
