Does it ever last longer feeling like its possibly going to cramp, or does it develop into cramps at times ? If so, It's possible that you're dehydrated and your electrolytes or your potassium levels are real low. Does it happen when you are outside in the heat more than inside ? Is it real hot where you live and do you drink sodas or beer more than water ? If you are dehydrated, you can take care of it by drinking as much of a quart of Gatorade as you can, and the same thing is Pedialite used for babies, lots of water, potassium tablets or a banana. Have you ever had a heat stroke. That goes along with the dehydration symptoms and can be taken care of in the same way. Living in the desert of Arizona and being light skinned I have had many and now know how to deal with them, and they are Not fun in any way.
Or, have you ever had a problem with a tubal pregnancy or cysts anywhere down there ? Has it been going on for a long time, and if so, do you remember if it happened after your period each time ?
BTW, Of Course, I have No idea what is going on with you. Sometimes it helps if someone else asks you questions that could possibly hit on something that you had forgot about or hadn't thought of, so that's why I'm asking. An Ex-Girlfriend of mine had some similar problems in that area and I'm trying to think of what her symptoms were, cause, Who Knows? Might hit on it. But you probably do need to see a doctor if it keeps happening to see if an organ of some kind is acting up.
Also , and we have all had them, and when I did, I found out from a Dr. friend of mine that they actually can be chronic, and that's pockets of gas in colon, lower intestines that are blocked and somehow stay in one place with everything else in there just moving past them. Not trying to be gross but those have put me on the ground more than once.
***Here's something I pulled off of a site for you to see if any of this sounded familiar:
Pelvic Pain
Many women experience pelvic pain—pain that occurs in the lowest part of the abdomen, between the hipbones. The pain may be sharp, intermittent, or crampy (like menstrual cramps). It may be sudden and excruciating, or it may be dull, constant, or both. The pain may gradually increase in intensity, sometimes occurring in waves. Often, the pain is cyclical, occurring with menstrual periods or during ovulation. The pelvic area may feel tender to the touch. The pain may be accompanied by fever, nausea, or vomiting.
Causes: Pelvic pain may be caused by disorders related to any of the organs in the pelvis: the reproductive organs (uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and vagina), bladder, rectum, or appendix. However, pelvic pain sometimes originates in organs outside the pelvis, such as the abdominal wall, intestine, kidneys, ureters, or lower part of the aorta. Psychologic factors, especially stress and depression, may contribute to any kind of pain (including pelvic pain) but, by themselves, rarely cause pelvic pain.
Evaluation and Treatment: When a woman has sudden, very severe pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis, doctors must quickly decide whether the cause requires emergency surgery. Examples of emergencies are appendicitis, a perforated ulcer, a bulge in the aorta (aortic aneurysm), a twisted ovarian cyst, a ruptured abscess (collection of pus) in the pelvis, or a pregnancy that develops outside of the uterus (ectopic pregnancy), usually in a fallopian tube.
Information about the pain, including its timing—when it occurs in relation to the menstrual cycle, eating, sleeping, sexual intercourse, activity, urination, and defecation—may help doctors determine the cause, as may information about any other factors that worsen or ease the pain.
Doctors gently feel the entire abdomen and do a pelvic examination. This evaluation helps doctors determine which organs are affected and whether an infection is present. A pregnancy test is done. Depending on which disorders are suspected, other tests may include cultures (growing organisms in a laboratory, or other tests to check for infections such as gonorrhea and chlamydial infection, urinalysis and urine culture, ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and a complete blood cell count. Sometimes surgery using a laparoscope (a viewing telescope to examine the interior of the abdomen and pelvis) is needed to identify the cause of the pain. A larger incision may also be required.
Treating the disorder causing the pain, if identified, may relieve the pain. If needed, analgesics can help relieve pain. Doctors may ask about stress, depression, and other psychologic factors to determine whether these factors may contribute to pain, especially when pain is persistent.
And here is the site. Wow, Gag me with a Backhoe. Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda been a Dr. Just about everthing I asked you was listed here, and I didn't find this till after I had already asked you all those questions. Hmmm.I wouldn't mind making that kind of money either. Ha!. Anyway I hope it's something simple for you. I've got back surgery in 2 weeks, Another Fun day in Paradise. Good luck and really hope you feel better soon.
