What Causes Severe Pain In The Abdomen?

Hi have been suffering from severe pain in my abdomen , which I am not able to tell if it s from my bladder or uterus ! I have not pain during my periods and and bleeding in between my cycle . The Gynac told me I have endometriosis or adenomyosis, is it possible to have these when I have never had painful or heavy periods and no spotting . The urologist says I have painful bladder syndrome . As I do feel pain right after I urinate , but only when I am going through the episode ! Many days of the month I am fine too. Also I am taking Femilon OCP, is it fine to take that for endometriosis? Please help. Thank you.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of severe pain in the abdomen. There can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like irritable bowel syndrome, some medications like antidepressants, eating a lot of dairy products, acidity and lack of fibres in diet. Condition like appendicitis , diveticulitis can also cause such symptoms . You should avoid intake of hot, sharp and spicy food substances. For now drink lot of water , do light exercises and avoid fatty and heavy meals. You should take diet rich in fibres and exercise daily and do not lie down immediately after having food. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order colonoscopy or other tests to look for blockages in your colon. You should get barium studies and blood test for hormonal changes. Doctor may prescribe you stool softeners as well. Apply warm compresses to abdomen and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
