Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a single 23-year-old female. Occasionally I am experiencing pain that subsides after peeing, but other times it is excruciating. It is 1.5 inches to the left of the vagina and 2.5 inches below the belly button. It seems that there appears to be something present. The discomfort began after I had been fasting for about 20 hours owing to illness and fever, and it lasted two days. The pain is gone, but I am concerned. It has a tingling sensation. I am experiencing pain, which is similar to piercing pain in the left side of the appendix. Also, the movements become bothersome.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
According to your description, the discomfort is 1.5 inches to the left and 2.5 inches below your belly button, exactly before the vaginal opening. This discomfort might go away after urinating at times, and it may be intense during urination at other times. Given your symptoms and background, you might be suffering from pelvic floor muscle spasms or tension. The pelvic floor muscles are responsible for supporting the bladder, uterus, and rectum and can become tight and uncomfortable as a result of stress, anxiety, or misuse. This can create pain and discomfort in the location you have mentioned. To assist relieve the discomfort and strain, try some pelvic floor exercises like Kegels to strengthen and relax the muscles.
Deep breathing and relaxation techniques can also be used to assist in alleviating stress and tension in the region. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to see a doctor. There are other problems that can cause pelvic discomfort, such as urinary tract infections, ovarian cysts, or endometriosis. They could help with identifying the cause, offering appropriate therapy, and providing follow-up care.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
