Patient's question:
Female, 34 years old, has been feeling lower back pain and a heavy pain in the abdomen these past few days, but it's not too severe, occurring about two or three times a day. Unsure what the situation is. Please ask what the difference is between pregnancy and premenstrual symptoms?Doctor's answer:
The menstrual cycle may involve some physical reactions such as lower back pain, a heavy feeling, and bloating. When menstruation is delayed, it is necessary to consider how to conceive. In the early stages of pregnancy, there may be some early pregnancy symptoms, most commonly nausea and vomiting, which are gastrointestinal reactions. Some people may also experience lower back pain, breast tenderness, and a loss of appetite. You can use pregnancy test strips after a delayed period, or undergo a urine test or blood test at a hospital for confirmation. There are many methods for treating diseases, but since each patient's condition is different, the treatment approach will also vary. Therefore, patients need to seek professional medical attention as soon as possible for detailed testing to ensure the correct treatment.
