  3. Our software and our Marketing Engineering staff review each answer and optimize your answers for keywords valuable to your specialty. It is a well kept secret that doctors (you) - not SEO consultants - are the ones who have the most valuable content prized by search engines. Ask DoctorBase "unlocks and optimizes" your content in the most efficient manner possible with today's technology.
  4. Finally, the doctor who provides the most popular answer - "the Featured Answer," gets an added benefit by allowing patients to write rave reviews about your expertise - reviews that are submitted to both Google and Google Local through our Preferred Data Provider relationship.

Take a pregnancy test
Brad Douglas
Take a home-pregnancy test if you missed the period. Depending on the manufacturer, the kit price ranges between US $1.00 to US $ 89.00. The upper stomach pain is not necessarily a pregnancy symptom.
By doing a home pregnancy test

you can quickly find out.

Then, it's best to see your doctor

and determine the cause of the

upper abdominal pain.
It could be so many things, from gas to heartburn to an ulcer. Taking the pregnancy test will help rule out one cause.
Pregnancy is a possibility - get a home pregnancy test. Otherwise, it could be a cyst on the ovary or other problem, see your doctor.
