Hello, well these past 5 days I've been having pain in my lower back and around my pelvis. The pain is in the lower abdomen area. The pain there is like period cramps except with put hte period. I had mine around the last days of september. It's been bothering me. I am not sexually active so I don't know why is this happening, Maybe could it be i'm changing my ovulation or period cycle, Pleas ehelp me figure out. I m kinda scared and well I feel weird going to a gynecologist because well i;ve never been to one because i'm a virgin. any info will help.

I'm not sure what your pain is coming from, but I'd say a trip to the gynecologist would be helpful in finding out. I completely understand your nervousness at seeing a gynecologist, but gyns are not just for sexually active people. You still have a reproductive system to take care of, and it actually couldn't hurt to get a check-up, even if you won't be sexually active for a long time.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, whether you're having sex or not, you still have to maintain your health and a gynecologist can help you do that. They are not as scary as you think, in fact, most are pretty sensitive to the fact that you're scared. You could have some kind of infection or menstrual disorder and the only person who can really get you help is the gynecologist. Good luck!

The bottom line is you are having pain where you shouldn't be having any. If it is continuing you need to see a doctor. You can first go to an ordinary doctor, MD or DO, and they might be able to help you.

Sooner or later you will need to buck up and see an OB/GYN. This is a natural and normal part of being a woman. If it makes you more comfortable, see a female doctor.

Good Luck.

hersheys, it is hard to tell what is wrong. Anytime there is pain, it is best to see a doctor just to put your mind at ease and get rid of the pain. Highly recommend a female ob/gyn. Always makes me feel more comfortable. If you don't have it checked out, most likely the pain is going to continue. Best wishes.
