What Causes Sharp Pain In The Lower Abdomen?
I am male . 24 yrs old and live in england.
i have a intermitant sharp pain in my lower abdoman (pubic region). It comes in waves and lasts 15mins at a time. I also have bad diahrria. I have had these symtoms for the last 5 hours.
The pain is quite intense and causes me to hold my stomache. I have read that this could be kidney/gall stones but i did drink 7 units of alchohol last night and am unaware if that could induce the same symtoms. (i do not drink very oftern at all)
I do not feel the need to vomit except mildly when the pain is at its strongest.
I believe i will be unable to get a appointment at my GP untill tomorrow at the earliest.
Could you please advise me on the likely hood that this is a alcohol related problem that will go away in time, or if it is more serious and should go to A & E.

Hi,
From symptoms it seems that you might be having acute gastro-enteritis.
Take antispasmodic medicine like Meftal spas ot Cyclopam to get relief from abdominal colic.
Take loperamide or ofloxaciline, tinidazole stat.
Take plenty of water, electorlytes and ORS liquids to prevent dehydration.
Take light diet.
If problem persisted then go to ER and get examined.
Ok and take care.
