hi doctor, have been experiencing mild pain in the left side pelvic region below the lower abdomen since a week, the pain is felt to somewhere inside in that area. i had gone through a surgical abortion(6wks pregnant) before 8months does it relate to this pain now??i couldnt go for a follow up check up after dnc. does this pain relate to any kind of infection?? never had experienced this kind of pain before please help m kind of very nervous about it..
Hi, An infection should be carefully checked out first. Inflammation of the ovaries (acute nephritis), tube inflammation (salpingitis), sigmoid colon inflammation (acute sigmoiditis) and diverticulitis are probable causes. A clinical review, ultrasounds, blood tests for sexually acquired infections would be most appropriate in this case. Kind regards
