Hi, I need advice. A couple mornings ago I was woken up by a pain in my lower stomach and I felt like I had to go #2 but couldn t. I havent been able to pass gas or have a normal #2. It hurts to sit up, walk and cough sometimes. I was thinking it was getting to be the beginning of my menstrual cycle and its day 2 and still nothing but im still feeling the same.I m hoping its just built up gas and its not something more severe.
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history of waking up with pain in abdomen and feeling to go for bowel movement but could not. The pain increases with sitting up, coughing and walking. You are on 2nd day of menstrual period. Since you have given a detailed history, it appears that there is some inflammatory process going on the right side and the probable diagnosis can be :AppendicitisInflammation of the tubes or problems with ovary. I would advise you to undergo X-ray of the abdomen in standing position and Ultrasonography along with proper clinical evaluation by a General Surgeon. The diagnosis hence made will give us the plan for management.
