Suggest Treatment For Lower Abdominal Pain

I ve had pain since this morning that started like a cramp in my lower abdomen and has gotten worse over several hours. It is bearable when I am sitting and is very painful when I walk. I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago and do not have any female parts, no appendix or gallbladder. I am not sure what it can be?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. If I were your doctor, after a general physical examination, I would advise you to avoid food from outside to prevent any kind of intestinal infections causing the cramping. I would also go for a routine blood test like a CBC, and a routine stool and urine test to rule out any parasitic infections and/or a UTI respectively and treat it if positive. In addition, an ultrasound of abdomen would rule out any other intra-abdominal pathology. Till then, I would advise you for an anti spasmodic along with a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief.

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.
