What Causes Stomach Pain And Constipation?
I have been having low abdominal cramps/pain in my left side of my stomach above the pubic line. I am unable to poop and I haven't in a while due to constipation. I can't push anything out it just stays where its at but I do feel to urge to poop. My stomach cramps have been going on for the past week and it's not painful just thumping feeling light cramp that feels like its in my ovary. Then when I try and poop the muscles from my stomach put pressure on the pain and its sensitive and hurts. What is going on?

hi.
thank for posting at HCM.
Constipation definition varies from person-to-person. Stools may be too hard or too small, difficult to pass, or infrequent (less than three times per week). Some people with constipation may feel a sense that the bowels are not empty
advice:
- stop any medication being used for constipation for a week
- thrice daily , take two tea spoon (or one big spoon) isphagula husk with 200 to 300 mL water
- increase warm water( atleast 8 glass/day) intake
- do not drink water during and after meals
- eat small meals (rich in fiber)
- eat plentiful "fresh oranges" and "pear "
- avoid COLD milk and and AVOID junk food(NO burger , pizza-even if its veg.) altogether
- mix few drops of "lemon juice" in warm water. Drink on empty stomach, early in the morning, to aid in bowel movement
- avoid beverages / alcohol/ soft drinks
- do some exercise (push-ups / squats etc) early in the morning
- avoid carbonated drinks
- take 2-3 spoon edible virgin olive oil in the morning
if no resolution after 10 days, then better to visit treating physician.
besides constipation, if your weight is increasing and/or you feel fatigue, then have a thyroid profile test.
Hope to answer your concern.
Wish you good and sound health.
Regards,
Dr Tayyab Malik
