This can come from many different causes, I believed that the explanation and the question one need to ask will help you to know where to check or look when something like this is happening.
Possible causes of pain in the lower belly are:
- Menstrual discomfort. Is it worst shortly before or during the period?
- A bladder infection . One of the most common low mid- belly pains. Is urination very frequent or painful?
- Pelvic inflammatory disease. This is almost always a late stage of gonorrhea or chlamydia, with pain in the lower belly and fever. If these signs are mild, first treat for gonorrhea. Then give tetracycline or erythromycin for 14 days. For more sevete signs, also give 400 to 500 mg of metronidazole, 3 times a day forv10 days.
- Problems that are related to a lump or mass in the lower part of the belly. A special exam is needed, done by a trained health worker.
- Ectopic Pregnancy ( when the baby begins to develop outside the womb, . Usually there is severe pain with irregular bleeding. The woman often has signs of early pregnancy, and feels dizzy and weak. Get medical help immediately; her life is in danger.
- Complications from an abortion. There may be fever bleeding from the vagina with clots,abdominal pain, difficulty urinating, and shock. Start giving antibiotics as for childbirth fever; and get the woman to a hospital at once. Her life is in danger.
There may be other things which I have not mention here.
So you can as well contribute what you know about these.
