Experiencing Lower Abdominal Pressure, Urge To Urinate Frequently, Uncomfortable In Lying Down. Any Ideas?
I am a guy and I have been experiencing lower abdominal pressure for th e past few weeks. It affects my bladder some because I feel like I have to go the bathroom. I had a physical a few eeks ago and my prostate was fine. bladder seemed to be fine.. I told the doctor about the umcomfortable pressure. I think it is there all the tiem but bothers me more when I am laying down in bed. He suggested that I should get a colonoscophy. I had one eight years ago and everything turned out ok. I am not sure I need to have one or something else might be wrong it is not a sharp pain or anything like that just prssure that is very uncomfortable especially when I am laying down..any ideas would be helpful thanks

Welcome to HCM.It would help if an ultrasound scan was done initially to assess for any bladder or ureteric problems,prostratic infections could give a similar picture.A complete physical examination after a detasiled history would be needed to pinpoint the cause,this may arise from a musculoskeletal problem,to pelvic inflammation /colonic disease.
