Why is my girlfriend having abdominal pain on her right side? she says her period is about to come, but we also took a blan b about 2 weeks ago? how can i tell the difference if its a severe side effect from plan b or it's just from her period?

Could be period,: or an ovarian cyst, regardless, an exam and possible ultrasound to be sure. See your doctor for the best treatment plan.

Doctor can examine: Right abdominal discomfort can be from many things. For pain there, appendicitis is always a concern (pain usually worsens over time, with fever coming on). If one is constipated for several days, stool can back up and cause pain. Gallstones, kidney problems, and ovary problems can also cause pain. One's primary care doctor can check, or the ER doctor if symptoms are bad or worrisome.
