How To Treat Abdominal Pain?

All day today I ve been having abdomen pain. It s flitting between gas pain and feeling like pressure on my bladder. My stomach feels bloated. There s also a pressure on my anus from the inside, and it s more noticeable when I sneeze, cough, or stand up/sit down. The pressure in my abdomen and rectum seems to be connected together. I m a healthy teenager, female. What could the issue be? The pain isn t severe, but it s enough to be bothersome and make me a little paranoid.

Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, I would advise you if you eat frequently from outside specially spicy, fried and fast food kind of eatables. Such food could bring on intestinal infections, and also the intestinal mucosa could be sensitive to some of the components of the food. In both the case, you could get such symptoms in your abdomen. So avoid it and include enough roughage and liquids to your daily routine food at home.

I would also advise you to get a routine stool test done for ova and cyst, and also a urine routine and microscopic test to rule out both intestinal and urinary infections, and treat these if found positive. This might relieve you of your symptoms.

On the general medicinal part, I would advise you go for a proton pump inhibitor along with a prokinetic drug, and a probiotic which would an additional help in treating your symptoms.

In case all these fail, I would advise you for an ultrasound whole abdomen to rule out chances of any gall stone disease, and if need be, would refer to a gastroenterologist for a possible endoscopic evaluation of your intestinal tract.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.

Hi,
To treat abdominal pain ,the cause should be known first .As there are some points to be known from your history,wether you have had problem of1. constipation for long time , if you feel pressure in bladder do you have burning during micturition 2. (Urinary tract infection), If you feel bloating and gas pain ,it can be because of3. eating spicy,fried and large meal at one time.Pressure feeling with sneezing and coughing can be associated with hernia.
In my opinion get thoroughly checked by Physician .You may need an ultrasound abdomen to rule out the cause.
Hopefully my answer will be helpfull
