Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Could Cause Constipation And Lower Abdominal Pain?
Hi there, I have been feeling like i am constipated for a while now, and i went and pushed down on my lower stomach where the lower intestines are and it hurt . I am pretty sure i had a UTI a month ago..got my period after that. I have tried to have a bowel movement but it seems impossible.
Looking at your description I would advise you to take Laxatives like liquid paraffin or lactulose 30ml at bed time.
You should take lots of fresh fruits and vegetables with dietary fiber supplement which will help by increasing the roughage and facilitate in bowel evacuation.
Have lots of fluids orally to maintain good hydration and that will help in UTI by flushing off the urogenital tract.
Please write back to me with relevant medical history like your age, if you are taking any medicine? So that I will be able to tell you more accurately. Best wishes
