Treatment For Abdominal Pain And Back Pain Despite Taking Tylenol?

default
Posted on Sun, 9 Mar 2014
Question: HI : I'm a fifty year old woman in pretty good health except for two back surgeries for disc herniatiions 20 years ago (but Idon't get those symptoms since). About two days ago, I woke up with pain in lower abdomen and back on both sides and around the groin - sort of flanking around the groin. I hadn't had a period in six months, as the period started again that day, but it's very severe. My period's almost stopped today, and the pain is just worsening (heat doesn't help at all). I took tylonol, but that didn't help. Not sure what to take; it's burning and severe, not achy. I thought my sacrioliac joint had seized up and went to shiatsu today, but it made it worse.

Brief Answer: ultrasound abdomen and gynae checkup Detailed Answer: Hi, Welcome to healthcare Magic! You are experiencing climacteric that is the transition phase to menopause. The bleeding during this priod is irregular in respect to timing, amount-heavy or nominal and pain. You should take a combination of antispasmodic medicines and paracetamol for relief. Simultaneously you must get an ultrasound of the abdomen and get evaluated by a local gynecologist and if needed a per speculum vaginal examination to rule out other possibilities like malignancy etc. I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you. Take Care!

Thank you Dr. Choudhary. So it's not then a kidney problem? I thought of that because it's in the abdomen/groin (kidney stones?) as well. Does this menopause thing often last several days? Oh dear..

Brief Answer: Get USG scan done Detailed Answer: Hello, Welcome back. You can have pain due to dysmenorrhea, colitis, ureteric stones. If it is relieved with antispasmodic medication then it can be due to dysmenorrhea. Due to renal stones pain is in specific site- either in right side or left side ; to have generalised pain is very rare to be occurred. But still to rule out pathology get USG whole abdomen done & consult your doctor for local examination. Climacteric to menopause can continue for 1 to 2 years. I will be available for your further queries. Regards,
