What Causes Constipation And Pain In The Lower Pelvic Region?

I have been experiencing some constipation for the last couple days and this morning I woke up to pain in my lower pelvic region on my right side. When I touched the area it was extremely tender and I can feel a lump. Yesterday I resorted to taking a laxative to relieve my constipation but I ve had only scant bowel movements with excessive gas. I am somewhat bloated and reluctant to palpate the area anymore because it is too painful. I m debating on whether a trip to the emergency room is warranted of if I should give it until tomorrow and see if its improved any and if not make a trip to the urgent care since it is Sunday evening and the ER is my only resort at the moment. My e-mail address is YYYY@YYYY . Thank you, Holly Myers I just realized I have to pay for medical advise on this site and am not in a position to do so at the moment

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to constipation.

I suggest continuing using an over the counter option of laxative such as Miralax.

I also suggest using daily probiotics.

I recommend to use a fiber rich diet and drink a lot of liquids.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
