Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Pain And Pain During Bowel Movement

Brief Answer:
as explained in details.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of a 59 year old male having severe stomach pain - feeling the need to pass a bowel movement - unable to - pain spreading from lower abdomen to genitals - took dulcolax - not visited a Doctor ...
This is called tenesmus and can come when there is severe colitis or fecolith impaction; other causes can be IBS if you are a known patient, intestinal obstruction like intususception
Please give additional information:
Is there any bloating, nausea, vomiting, fever or chills?
Is this for the first time or has happened before also?
Any other medical history?
I would advise you the following:
Better to go to ER.
Clinical evaluation and examination
Tests of blood, stool if it happens, urine.
X-ray of the abdomen in standing position to see for any intestinal obstruction and fecolith impaction.
To get anti-spasmodic and other medication/managment as per the clinical findings and reports of investigations.
Feel free to ask further
Regards

I do not feel any bloating, nausea, fever or chills and have not vomited or felt the need to vomit.
I have no history of IBS.
This is the first time this has happened. I have never even suffered constipation before. I usually have the opposite problem (diarrhea) when sleep deprived or highly stressed.
Since taking the Dulcolax, I have had several liquid bowel movements and the pain has gone.
Is it possible that the Dulcolax is resolving my problem?
Do I still need to go to the ER?
Thank you very much for your help.
