    Can you give more information?

    Are you near the time of ovulation or menstration? Could it be pain related to your bowels? Pain in your abdomen can be caused by many things so more information would help us give you a better answer. ;)

    Can I ask you a few more questions, tata1 ?
    Do you have normal menstrual cycles? Have you had a pap test recently? Do you have any discharge? Are you taking birth control medication? How old are you?

    I have pain like that sometimes when I am ovulating. What kind of pain is it? Is it cramps, sharp pains, burning pains?

    Well, it's possible it could be ovulation. I had burning pains once and it was an infection. I had to take an antibiotic medicine for a week, and it went away. I would advise you to see the doctor if it doesn't go away soon.

    You said you are not having sex. Are you a virgin? (sorry to ask a personal question) If so, then you obviously won't have to worry about sexually transmitted diseases, so that would rule them out.

    I would advise you to ask the doctor about getting a pap test done. Even if you are a virgin, it is good to get this test after you are 21. Chances are you are fine, but it is good to get the test done just as a preventative exam.

    I think seeing a doctor would be good. If nothing else, it will make you feel better to know that everything is all right. It is really hard to know what it is without an examination. It could be so many things, really, most of them not serious, but still it's best to have a doctor examine you.

    Well I know that the cancer of the uterus there has many symptoms such as bleeding and pain, in addition to other things
    But is it reasonable to be cancer include one thing is the pain

    Well, at your age it is NOT likely to be cancer. Now, I'm not saying it is impossible. Women your age can develop uterine cancer, but it is rare. It is true that cancer has other symptoms, such as bleeding and pain. But all these symptoms could also be cause by infection, disease, cysts, and other benign (not cancerous) things. So, just because you have the symptoms of pain does not mean you have cancer.

    That is why the pap test will help you so much. The doctor will be able to look at the cells from your uterus and determine if they are healthy or not. Even if they say the cells are "abnormal", even that doesn't mean you have cancer. It only means that they have to do some more tests to know what is wrong. The doctor will also want to know about your periods, sexual history, family history of disease, and so on.

    Of course no one can diagnose over the internet, but I think the chances of you having uterine cancer at your age are very low. You are most likely healthy. But, anytime there is a problem with the female areas, it is very good to go to the doctor to know for sure. If something is wrong with your uterus, finding out what it is early is very important.

    The pap test doesn't hurt at all. It may be a little uncomfortable, but there is no pain. If you are a virgin or not sexually active now, make sure to tell the doctor so that she can be extra careful not to hurt you during the exam. She will explain everything to you ahead of time to make you feel better. Be sure to tell the doctor that it is your first pap test, so that she explains everything to you.

    You will feel so much better after getting the doctor's exam. I just had this exam not long ago, and it went fine for me. It was not painful at all. I think you are probably healthy, but I'm glad you are going to the doctor just to be safe.

    Good luck! And let me know if you have any other questions! :)

    I happened to have ovarian cancer when it was 19. From experience, I can tell you that its possible, but VERY, VERY rare, especially at such a young age.

    Give your doctor a call an make an appointment for a PAP as Peggy suggested. It will set your mind at ease to consult with a professional and find some answers. In the mean time, try a nice soak in a warm bath or other soothing techniques to give you relief.

    So glad that you are OK now! That's too bad that you had to go through that at such a young age! That must have been so hard!

    Thank you. :)
    It was hard and difficult to find support... my doctor said my particular case was "uncommon in 80 year olds" let alone a teenager. Needless to say, I still haven't met anyone who can relate to my unique circumstances.
