A member asked:

Should i worry if i have missed a period and have sharp pain and cramping really low on one side of my abdomen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: You need to take a pregnancy test. If you are pregnant and having pelvic pain it could be an ectopic pregnancy ( a pregnancy in the tubes) which could be an emergency. Take a pregnancy test or go to the doctor to get one done today. if you are not pregnant and the pain is severe you should see a doctor for an exam.
