I'm really worried about my girlfriend. On Monday, I fingered her and since then she had continuous pain which lasted until Friday. Now, it seems to have lessened to just once a day. When I was fingering her, it felt like I was hitting something. Can you help diagnose what's going on and suggest any treatment options? Also, if there's a way to contact you, can you let me know?

I developed a small cold on Wednesday and it's been keeping me up all night with coughing. This morning I woke up with pain in my lower abdomen every time I cough. I just got my period today, so I'm wondering if that's why it hurts. Could the coughing be related to my period cramps, or is it something else I should be concerned about?
Persistent coughing can be sometimes problematic which put pressure in your chest and abdomen also which can cause the pain.
