What Causes Persistent Lower Abdominal Pain In A Woman?

I have recently recently started getting lower abdominal dragging pain. More of a discomfort or ache but it is there a lot of the time. I am passed the age of the menapause but the pain is similar to when I used to get IBS. But it is many years since I had any episodes of that. I have had a lot of health issues and dealing with a stressful situation but this ache or pain although quite mild seems to be quite constant at the moment.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Constant dragging pain in lower abdomen of a woman of post-menopause age with past history of IBS and now in stressful condition can be due to the following reasons:
Prolapse of uterus, cystocele, rectocele.
IBS that is irritable bowel syndrome as you have past history and are under stress.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Consult the Gynecologist first for per-vaginal examination, per-speculum examination with coughing to see for prolapse.
Ultrasonography of abdomen.
If the cause is found get operated for correction.
If no gynecological cause then this may be IBS.
Consult your Physician to get a proper medications for IBS and stress.
Get stool, blood and urine tests to see for any additional problems like infection and get treated accordingly is anything is found.
