Q: abdominal pain, pink discharge
asked by: sarah812 on March 10th, 2008

About 5 days after my last period I started to experience right groin pain. This pain was intermittent, and was generally mild, varying from dull and achy to burny. I would often feel it in my inner thigh, and it seemed to bother me more when I walked around a lot and at night before I went to bed. On the fourth day, it became much more pronounced in my right groin, and i started to fear i had appendicitis or something like that. On the fifth day, however, I barely had any symptoms. On the sixth day (today), the pain was more diffuse, and i felt it on and off in both the left and right groin, as well as throughout my abdomen. It was also generally pretty mild until the evening when i started to feel some cramping in my pelvis and abdomen. At that time, I also felt something coming from my vagina.. a pink discharge with one or two spots of red. It did not smell badly or anything. I urinated a few hours later, and noticed there was still a little there. I urinated again, just now, and there was nothing. As of right now, I also feel perfectly fine. Again though, this pain has been intermittent the entire week.

I have a doctor's appointment in two days, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what this could be.. I've had no other symptoms really besides some bloating and a little gas. I am on birth control, so I really don't think I am pregnant. I also think it is unlikely that this is due to an STD, but I'm open to any ideas.

Hi Sarah

I have only just joined this forum but noticed your post.
I have been having identical symptoms to you down to the finest detail you described.
I have had an Ultrasound of my pelvis internal and external and also my kidneys but they found nothing at all and said I may have a slight groin strain?? but now I am having the pink/orange dishcarge as you have.
Just wondered if your doctor managed to give you an answer and how you are now?

Take Care

Suki -

My doctor also suggested it was due to groin strain, and went on to say that sometimes the uterus sits lower in the abdomen, which can cause similar pain. The pain went away within the following day or two, and I ended up getting a second period that month. While at the doctor, I was also given a pregnancy test, which came up negative, so the extra period can't be explained by miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. I am not sure that I agree with my doctor. I think it had more to do with hormonal fluctuation because of the birth control that I was on, or possibly there is still an underlying cause that I haven't discovered yet. Since then, I have had midcycle ovulation pain, as well as mild bacterial vaginosis after my period ends each month - two symptoms I have never experienced in my life. To top that off I've had mono for the past two months.

I hope you have better luck figuring this out than I did. Please let me know how things turn out.

Thanks for the reply Sarah.
I too had to have a pregnancy test at the doctors but that was negative as I too am on Celeste Brith Control Pills, which I changed to 6 months ago.
I have just had 2 bouts of thrush which I don't usually suffer with but is not so great.
I will let you know if I get any answers. The pain in my low right hand side of my pelvis has subsided hopefully the pink/orange discharge will too as I'm fed up of going to the doctors.

Thanks Again
