What Do You Suggest For Having Movements In My Lower Right Abdomen?

Hi , I am Robin I have been having movements in my lower right abdomen that you can see. I know I cant be pregnant since I had a hysterectomy and husband has had vasectomy . I have been to 3 different Drs. .One gave me Bentyl and Hyoscyamine. My husband has seen and felt this movement on my stomache. A home health nurse has seen my abdomen move and said that was not normal. This has been going on for about 3 1/2 months. It's driving me crazy. These movements increase after I eat. What do I do???

Hi there,

Thanks for your query. More information is required, apart from physical examination of the abdomen.

However, from the available information, there are just two possibilities:-

1. The movement is that of the right lower abdominal muscle (movement is called fasciculation) due to irritation/compression of the supplying nerves as a result of bulging disc/collapse of vertebra. MRI of the mid-spine will detect the disability, if present.

2. A pathology or a growth in the Caecum (junction between small intestine and colon), obstructing the flow of food. CT Scan or Colonoscopy would rule out/diagnose this condition.

Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable/modified treatment as advised.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
