Hi, I wanted to ask you a question, For the past 4 days I have been having mild lower abdominal pain. Sometimes it is stronger sometimes milder. Two days ago I went to my OBgyn and he performed a vaginal ultrasound and told me everything was fine. The pain persists though. Could he have missed that I have Pelvic inflamatory disease?

Keep going back until your doctor finds the source of the pain, or go to another doctor for another opinion. I had a similar situation years ago, and went back to my doctor and he did some further checking and found that I had an ectopic pregnancy. Pain is your bodies way of telling you that something is wrong so do not ignore it.

A friend of mine had PID years ago, she was feeling severe period pains for approx 2 months, then the pain got worse and worse. She likened the pain to labour pains, they would come and go, spasms, until one day she couldn't walk, the pain was so bad so I took her to the hospital she was admitted straight away and operated on. Initially they thought it was appendicitis, but she was later told it was PID. She was told she would find it difficult to conceive again but she has since had more children. She stated she had no symptoms other than the pains she felt whilst menstruating. She also stated that it felt as if there was something stuck inside her, wanting badly to come out, (she was told that was probably the cyst that had grown on her ovaries). Don't take any risks, if the pain persists get yourself back to the doctors and don't give up till they pin point what is wrong. All the best

It could something as simple as cramps or trapped gas. Still if you are not comfortable with the Dr's diagnosis you can go for a second opinion.
One time a Dr told me I had something wrong with my blood and it was very serious and it would involve lots of expensive treatment. I couldn't believe it so I went to another Dr who performed more extensive tests and determined that there was nothing wrong with me at all. I was so relieved.
Just for piece of mind if nothing else you should get a second opinion.

Sure, they would sometimes forget their name, just like us. Anyway, when I was under stress and I mean stress, my doctor put me in the hospital and ran all tests. He said he thought he knew the diagnosis before the tests were taken and he was right. The reason that I was doubled over with stomach pain was because I was so stressed. I had two babies, my husband was bringing his girlfriend to our home, and my mother died, all at the same time.

More times than not your intuition about your body will be right, if you just "know" there is something wrong seek another opinion. Only you know your body and you need a doctor who will respect what you have to say and do something about it. Good luck to you!

I would get a second opinion. Especially if the pain doesn't go away. Best of luck to you.

You may be constipated. I've had that too. Gas would be my guess. Check with a Doc. again though. Cat
