Lower abdominal pain

[Lisa415]

I have been having very light "annoying" constant side of my lower abdominals for the last 6 days. I have was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism about a year ago..my levels have been stable for  over 6 months. I went to the dr. today and they feel that I have pulled a muscle or have constipation. I have had so so  bowel movements, but I get no relief of pressure in that area when I do. I'm concerned it may be an ovarian cyst...I had a pap smear within the last year that came back good, but I can't imagine that a pulled muscle would feel like constipation. Anyone experiencing this? Please help!

The pain is only on the right side, and it's more of an inflamed, bloated feeling..that is to the right of my mons pubic bone. When I went to the Dr. yesterday,  she did check my ovaries manually, but not ultra sound and felt nothing unusual. I'm not sure how fail proof that method is. I'm hoping that is a pulled muscle, the Dr. said to come back if the pain gets worse,  I was on birth control for about 7 years, and have been off it for about a year...because they were all making me "crazy". Thanks for your advice!

Is the pain on both sides?
Ovarian cysts can be quite annoying....painful....bloating feeling, etc. Most of the time they will come and go with your cycle. I have one that just likes to hang out and never leave...lol   Being on birth control pills have helped me with cysts over the years.
Your gyno can do a simple vaginal ultrasound to see if you have cysts or a fibroid tumor. I would call and make an appt.
