Having Pain In Lower Abdominal Area. Tender To Touch. What Is The Cause And What Should I Do?
Your question is a good one and I will work on providing you with some information and suggestions.
Without being able to examine you it is somewhat difficult to determine what the actual cause of your symptom is.
I will give you a few of the possible causes. The first consideration would be that you may have a hernia. I hernia is a weakness in your abdominal wall which causes some of the intestine to push through. This would create tenderness at the site. This is diagnosed via a good physical examination.
Another possible cause would be diverticulosis or diverticulitis. This is caused by inflammation of the intestinal wall. The only real way to diagnose that would be through a colonoscopy.
The West consideration would be a kidney stone. I think this is unlikely in your case as you have more tenderness on the abdomen.
I thank you again for submitting your question. I hope you found my response to be helpful and informative. If you have additional concerns I would be happy to discuss them with you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Robert
