What Causes Sharp Pain And Pressure In Lower Abdomen?

I have been having intense/sharp gas pain with pressure in my lower abdomen and against the rectum. My stool sometimes has a gelitan look to it or I feel like I need to have a bowel movement but nothing but gas, which is pain full. I have also lost weight even though I have not been trying. I have tried over the counter items such as IBgard but that doesn t seem to help.

Hello hope the answer helps you.As you mention in histroy having sharp gas like pain with urge to go lavatory but northing comes out Iam not sure as you didnt mention how frequently moving bowel and constipated with hard stool or not.Also your dietary habits as try to take 18-20 glasses of water,more fibre in diet as oranges and vegetables to stimulate bowel action,avoid somking and alchol if you can.Also for pain like gas avoid vegetables as cabbage and potaoes may be you can try disfatyl tablet twice dail for two weeks to relief this.Als if this conservative therapy on regular basis for 2-3 weeks doesnt work than you can go to your doctor for Stool analysis and occult blood test.Hope it will be of some help to you.
