What might be happening
Based on the information you've provided, the following conditions could be causing your symptoms:
-
Kidney Stones: These are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys. They can cause severe pain when passing through the urinary tract.
- Treatment often involves pain relievers and drinking lots of water to help pass the stone. Medical procedures may be needed to remove or break up larger stones.
-
Ovarian Cyst: This is a fluid-filled sac that forms on or inside an ovary. Most ovarian cysts are harmless and go away without treatment in a few months. However, a large or ruptured ovarian cyst can cause serious symptoms such as sharp or severe pelvic pain.
- Treatment can range from monitoring to surgery, depending on the size and type of the cyst, your age, and your symptoms.
-
Diverticulitis: This is an inflammation or infection in one or more small pouches in the digestive tract. It can cause severe abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and a noticeable change in your bowel movements.
- Treatment typically involves antibiotics, pain relievers, and a liquid diet until your bowel heals. Surgery may be needed if complications develop.
What you can do
You should seek immediate medical attention given the severity and duration of your pain. While waiting for medical help, try to rest and avoid any food or drink that seems to make your symptoms worse.
What you should look out for
Seek immediate medical help if you experience any of the following:
- The pain becomes unbearable
- You have blood in your urine or stool
- You develop a fever
- You start vomiting
