Suggest Treatment For Sharp Pain In The Lower Abdomen

I have had the constant urge to have a bowel movement or pass gas, but have been unable to due so with regularity for 5 days. In addition to that, every time I try or urinate, I get a sharp pain in my lower left abdomen about 3-4 inches from my hipbone towards my navel. The pain is also a brief stabbing pain in the same location when I cough, which just started today. Will this pass or should I see a doctor?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.

The cause of the sharp pain in the left lower abdomen on urination, on coughing and constant urge to pass gas and bowel movement is suggestive that you may have an obstructed hernia or an inflammatory process of the sigmoid colon or lymph nodes or left lower ureter.

I would suggest you the following in such a situation::
Consult a General Surgeon to get a clinical examination , this is very important to get a proper diagnosis , more important than any investigations.
Get an ultrasonography done to have an additional information.
Investigations of the blood, urine and stool.

All these things will lead to a proper diagnosis and give you plan of proper treatment.
