Any advice? what could be causing this?

for the past 2 and a half weeks i have been experiencing cramping on and off and my tummy has felt like tight as if i was flexing the muscles, yet i can still flex and it becomes tighter (im due for my period on the 16th)... and ive been getting this weird feeling behind my belly button. just wondering if i should be concerned with any of this?Any advice? what could be causing this?
If you dont mind me asking...how old are you?and are you sexually active?


I have just been diagnosed with uterine fibroids after experiencing cramping in my abdomen. I also have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), which causes light cramping and the pain behind my belly button.


Think about the following.....


1. are your stools regular?


2. do you have diahorrea or constipation frequently?


If so, I would go and ask your GP about it.


It's nothing to worry about, just a few small changes in your diet, and possibly a few pills from the doctor and you're all set. Bowel problems are often confused with gynaelogical ones due to the cramping in the stomach, so rule out the possibility of IBS first!
