What investigations may be advised?
Your doctor will ask you some questions and may examine you. Based on what they find, they may advise you to have some further investigations.
A urine infection is a very common cause of pelvic pain and your doctor may ask for a urine sample. If they think there is a risk of an infection, they may ask to take a swab. A pregnancy test may be advised if you are unsure. They may arrange an urgent ultrasound (if miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy is suspected) at your local hospital. A routine ultrasound scan can be arranged to diagnose problems such as ovarian cysts.
