I just woke up covered in sweat with abdominal pain, my period stopped yesterday on day 4 first thing in the morning but I couldn t tell if it was cramps instead. The pain was extreme and I have a pretty good tolerance for pain so I thought it best to run a bath and try and normalize my temp. While in the bath I checked things out and my vagina is cold. I ve used a topical heating pad that has helped. What causes this and what should I do? Thanks in advance!
Hi. Thanks for your query. Severe abdominal pain with so much sweating is suggestive of bacteremia or septicemia. It is advisable that you rush to the ER to see for the vitals, get examined and investigated by tests of blood, urine and stool; ultrasonography of the whole abdomen and whatever is required. Get the treatment as per the investigations and clinical findings.
