How To Treat Dull Ache In Lower Abdomen?

Hi, for the past few days I have experienced a dull ache in the lower abdominal area and around the groin. I have slight feelings of nausea and there is slight discomfort when urinating - no blood is being passed. Is this an accurate description of kidney stones or a urine infection?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

You have already mentioned the two possible causes for your symptoms

1. Urinary tract infection is the common among the two but in UTI you will have fever also. If you were my patient I will suggest you to take plenty of water and syrup.citralka but at the same time I will ask you to have urine analysis done to rule out infection and start antibiotic accordingly.

2. If you have stone also you will have similar symptoms as you are not having fever. I suggest you to take a XRAY-KUB to rule out the stone but if you have stone the pain will be severe mostly like a colic.

Hope this answers your query.

Regards,
Dr.Alekhya.
