Can Lower Abdominal Pain Be A Sign Of Urine Infection?
I am having lower abdominal pain, right above the pubic bone, almost like cramping. When I urinate the pain seems to ease. I am 42, 5"3" tall and weigh 205. I am also diabetic. Just trying to determine if this might be a sign of infection that I should follow up with my doctor.

HI.
Since you are diabetic and have this problem, you should consult a Doctor for clinical examination investigations and treatment according to the findings.
I would advise:
Send samples before an antibiotic is started .
Blood -complete blood picture.
Urine- routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity.
Ultrasonography of abdomen.
Start the roper treatment for diabetes and the infection.
You will be fine.
take an antibiotic course of 7 to 21 days.
