Hi, I am 42 years old, 130lbs, 5'6 and have had a hysterectomy 5 years ago (they left one ovary, so I'm not taking medication) I have been experiencing sharp pain/ cramping in my stomach/ lower intestine just before I have a bowel movement. It is uncomfortable afterwards, in my stomach/lower intestine, as if by having a bowel movement things were irritated. My stomach is also bloated. I have been regular, there is no bleeding, it just seems as if my intestines have shrunk or are inflamed making it difficult to have a bowel movement. Any ideas?
