Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My period is due and my stomach is bloated and crampy. I feel a pressure. What to do?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query.

It can be due to several reasons.

1. Hormonal change of the second half of periods like luteinized unruptured follicle.

2. You could have an early pregnancy.

3. There could be a cystic ovary.

You need to do a beta hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) test in blood and a transvaginal ultrasound test.

Hope it helps.

Thanks and regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
