My daughter has been experiencing lower left side stomach pain, cramping, and general discomfort for over a week. Her urine and blood tests came back normal, and she has never had a pap test. Her periods are irregular and light, and she is not sexually active. What could be causing her pain, and should she see a gynecologist?

Could this be due to an estrogen deficiency, and is it possible to test hormone levels effectively?

I have had my hormonal IUD (Mirena) for a year in June. I am still experiencing irregular bleeding between periods, which is light spotting and has been happening for a couple of months. Is this something I need to worry about or is it normal to have irregular periods with a hormonal IUD?
