Dr Girl/Dr Dejour Q&A
Hi Dr Dejour,
I've been getting pains in my stomach for a while now, my gynecologist said it is growing pain. Will it stop its streaking pain above my vagina area, it hurts really badly. Help subscribe something for me. My period can be totally over or far away from coming and all of a sudden pains start. I have stopped eating bad stuff and am eating healthily. So what should I do? Sometimes I have to stay at home because of it. HELP!!!!!!!
Signed,
Growing Pains
Dear Growing Pains,
Pelvic pain can be a difficult thing to get to the bottom of. The fact that your pain is not related to your menstrual cycle makes a gynecological cause most unlikely and I must concur with your doctor's reluctance to prescribe 'something' without having established a diagnosis. Generally the other areas to pursue are your bladder and bowel (local doctor will refer you as appropriate), and if no cause is found, to either try to ignore the situation or go to a pain management clinic. May sound harsh but sometimes focusing on a symptom is the worst thing you can do. It sounds to me like a type of pain that will go away.
Regards,
Dr Dejour
