Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Pain While On Flomax
Yes, I had constapation last night and went to the hospital at 5 AM with severe abdominal pain. Ater 8 AM I was catherized which showed over 700 mL of urine removed. I had hard stool and was then given an anal treatment with water and magneseum etc. 5 minutes later I had 4-5 severe B.M. What a relief! I was released about noon and given a perscription for Flomax as the doc was concerned about my blatter. I was also given a referal to an uriologist who I intend on making appt. with tomorrow. MY PROBLEM NOW IS: when I go to urinate it feels very painful (stabbing sensation). A few drops come out and then I shut it off because of the pain. It s been 4 hours since the catheter was removed & the Rx closed before I could p/u the Flomex. Should I be concerned? [ No blood in urine, I doubt if there are stones...but who knows, I never had them before].
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that your symptoms are suggesting that you are unable to empty your bladder completely because of pain. There are multiple causes of Urinary Retention and need to be evaluated further for proper treatment. Cause of Urinary Retention includes weakened bladder muscles, medication, nerve disorder,obstruction of urethra etc.
Kindly consult with a Urologist for medical and physical checkup for further management.
Hope to Have been Helpful.
Kind Regards Dr. Navneet Bansal
