Sharp Abdominal Pain After Laugh, Going To Washroom, Anything Involving Push. Cause?
Hi, I was wondering something. When I laugh, or go to the washroom, or anything that involves a push... I get this sharp pain in my lower left abdomen ... Where my intestines are. As soon as I feel that pain, I quickly refrain from the push because it hurts and it scares me. I don t get it every single time, but I do get it quite often. I am wondering, what this could possibly be? Thanks

Start a course of stool softeners and continue it for at least a week. Drink at least 2 litres of water per day. This will prevent you from straining while passing stools. If the pain disappears then its fine. But if it persists you need to consult a General Surgeon.
