What is the cause of my missed periods for 6 months?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have a 28-day cycle; my last menstrual was six months ago. I have been having lower stomach cramps, lower back cramps in the thighs, and calf cramps. My husband ejaculated in me on the very next month.

Kindly tell me what is going on?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

First of all, please rule out urinary tract infection by doing a urine routine examination and culture sensitivity.

There may be many other causes of chronic pelvic pain, such as:

  • Ovulation pain occurs mid-cycle but is self-limiting.
  • Endometriosis may cause severe, painful periods.
  • Vaginal infection, vaginal discharge, foul-smelling discharge.
  • Pelvic congestion, constant pain throughout starting from mid-cycle, may stay till periods, and reduce after periods.
  • Irritable bowel syndrome and bowel motions.
  • Interstitial cystitis, increased frequency of urine, and pain fluctuate with urination.

Please consider doing a urine pregnancy test if you miss your next period. You can also do a blood pregnancy (hCG) test after two weeks of unprotected intercourse.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
