Renal colic or pregnancy pain? Posted: 01-01-07 21:11pm
I Just have been menustrating for the past
few days and early this morning I after I
went to the bathroom I got this sharp pain
on my right side just above my pubic hair
it sometime travelled on my side but it
mostly started from there, could this be
that I held on to go to the bathroom too
long or is it something more could it be
pregnancy, I recently had my period on the
7th Dec and again received it on the 29th
Dec, the pain wasn't a cramp it was like
someone stabbing me, any ideas. If it
persists I shall see my doctor, it is a
bit tender now but not as bad.

Pain is not a sign of pregnancy. In your
case, it is too early for you to be
pregnant. You can wait until you miss
your next period to to check if you are
pregnant, or not. According to the
description of the pain you are
experiencing (sharp pain above pubis
region that travels to the right side) you
could be experiencing renal colic (pain
due to kidney stones). You'll have to
visit your primary health provider
immediately for a correct diagnosis and
proper treatment.
