  • What type of pain is it? Dull, sharp, steady, or crampy?
  • Where is the pain located?
  • When was the last menstrual period? Was it a normal period?
  • Is there any vaginal bleeding or drainage?
  • Does anything decrease the pain or make the pain worse?
  • Are there any other symptoms, such as fever, fatigue, malaise, nausea, vomiting, change in bowel movements, or trouble urinating?
  • Is the woman sexually active? Does she use protection?
  • What medications, drugs, or herbs does the person take, if any?
  • Is there a history of any other medical problems or surgery?
  • Other questions may also be asked in some cases.
