my husband has hard pains in the lower part of his abdomen. It is hard pains . He says he feels like he has to potty and when he goes does very little but it is just like water.. The pain eases off for about 20minutes and it starts back. His stomach is bloated and he says it feels swelled. It started last night and worse today. What could this be.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of lower abdominal pain and bloating. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like consuming foods known to cause gas in some people, such as milk products that contain lactose, broccoli, appendicitis, crohn’s disease, gastroenteritis, irritable bowel syndrome or urinary tract infection. Need not to worry. You should take plenty of fluids. I would suggest you to avoid above mentioned foods , eat light and non spicy specially at night , take light walk after every meal , eat small and frequent meals. If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order ultrasound , endoscopy along with stool test . Doctor may prescribe laxative , anti inflammatory along with antacids .
