Lower abdominal cramps at night?

[Fakeplasticcheese]

I'm 42 and have had severe but short-lived abdominal cramping at night time several times this week. I have a Morena coil and don't currently have periods due to this (and prior to mirena generally didn't have much period pain). Could this be a perimenopause symptom? And/or is it something I might need to see a GP about or monitor?

*mirena of course

Bump - any thoughts?

I'm having the same sort if issues, have had a mirena for 6 years. I'm 50+ and recently been having a lot of lower abdomen cramping type pain, worse at night and radiating down my legs.
GP did an internal and has now referred me for some scans.

Thanks for the reply - sorry you are experiencing something similar. Sounds like maybe I should monitor it a bit and take myself to gp if it doesn't resolve.

Just a thought but have you been exercising more recently? I've got a Mirena and sometimes vigorous exercise seems to shift the coil around a bit. I had terrible night time abdominal cramps with it at the start but now only if I've been overdoing it.

no overly exercising but it does hurt more after a 12 hour shift at work. sometimes I have a job to walk to the carpark

Just to say, if it's central/right side or pain moves more to right side, it could be your appendix.

I've not been over exercising either. I also developed a lower left back pain yesterday which is coming and going. It's not serious but I don't normally have back ache . Definitely not right side though so that's one good thing.
