According to your symptoms (pain in lower
abdomen), you could be sensing your
ovaries, but not necessarily.
You can request a vaginal ultrasound scan
to exclude ovarian disorders such as
inflammation (oophoritis) or an ovarian
cyst. A 2 week delay in your menstrual
period last month may be due to the
existence of a functional ovarian cyst.
Functional ovarian cysts usually cause
cycle irregularities. Ovarian cysts can
cause also pain when they become too large
or become complicated by an infarction,
rupture or infection.
If everything is OK with your reproductive
system, then you can check your digestive
system (intestines) with an specialist
called an internist.
Sexual assault is a very tragic event.
You might seek expert help from a mental
health doctor to process and move through
the experience.
