Dear Rachael Evenden,

I can clearly "see" that you feel distressed by this ongoing pain. I really hope you get to be bottom soon.

I thin your GP is doing all the right stuff. You will beneit from an abdominal and pelvic scan to exclude an ovarian cyst, fibroid and altimately endometrosis as the cause of your right sided abdominal pain.

Please note that should the pain become very serious, you should see the GP for an urgent referral for the scan and maybe gynaecologist review.
