I am a 37-year-old female experiencing lower abdominal pain on the right side with occasional nausea, which occurs 10 to 15 days before my period. The pain includes a sharp tearing sensation, burning or stinging pain, and flank pain in the back, all on the right side. I am on birth control pills (Necon 10/11 6x28) and have early perimenopause symptoms. I have no fever, urinary problems, or unusual vaginal discharge. Should I see a doctor, and if so, which type of doctor should I consult?
