What Causes Mid Abdominal Pain?

i have an abdominal right at the center of the abdomen, most of the times the pain is relievd by either defaecating or gas expulsion. Sometimes its not relievd even after all this, and then i drink something very cold, then seems to be better, but after 2 mins, back again!! after some time it spreads to the lower abdomen, more to the right, just below the umbilical line.. its really very painful.
I have had it since 2002.. help!!

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
This is a classical history where the central abdominal pain is relieved by passing stool or gases.
This is suggestive of the stricture or mass or cancer of the transverse part of the colon, the large bowel.
Sometime this is not relieved as there may be impaction of the feces or so or incomplete evacuation.
The back-pressure will cause pain to spread to the right side.

The investigations for the proper diagnosis is most important and can be done by :
Colonoscopy and biopsy
Barium enema.
And CT scan of the whole abdomen.

All these tests will lead to a proper diagnosis and give us the perfect plan of treatment, which should be followed.
