What Causes Abdominal Pain And Constipation?

Hi I have been having abdominal pain for several weeks and I did just see my doctor for my annual physical exam yesterday. I feel like I m constipated, which is very unusual for me. I have taken Metamucil every night for over five years. I did just have a colonoscopy last Fall and I had several small polyps which they removed and were not cancerous. I am under a lot of family stress right now, but this is not normal for me at all. I can call my doctor back any time and we can talk about a course of action. She suggested having the scope that goes down the throat to examine that area. I just thought I would try to learn about a few things here. I really just need to type some symptoms in and browse around a bit!\

Hello,

Consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an ultrasound scan.

As of now, you can take laxatives like lactulose for symptomatic relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
