Peggy,
I totally understand how you dont want your daughter to have to deal w/
the same crap that you have. I would look for a pediatric gynecologist
and have her evaluated by him or her. I am sure that you pediatrician
can recommend you to someone if you ask her/him. Is the pain so severe
that it is interupting w/ school? Has she had an ultrasound? She could
have an ovarian cyst.....I would try to find a pediatric gyn first and
have her evaluated..including an ultrasound would be the best thing to
do. Good luck!
