Q: Abdominal pain while urinating

asked by: DoctorQuestion on March 5th, 2009

About a week and a half ago i woke up early morning and couldnt urinate even though i wanted to nothing was coming out, i havent been going to the loo properly since,i have been having pain in my lower right side of my abdomen mostly but sometimes in the left too but not as bad,sometimes when i try to urinate i get pain in the middle of my abdomen on the sides. i have been experiencing back ache in the middle section for a few days now and sharp pain under my rib today on my right side. I have been to the doctors no urine infection not pregnant no STI's and they are sending me for scans, this was last friday and i havent had a phone call to arrange any sort of appointment for scans. What could this possibly be ? i really just want it sorted asap as it is causing me discomfort and i am very very tired and drained since this started.

Ovulation and Ovaries Answer A5976

According to the data you reported, you might be experiencing kidney stones that might be stopping the urine more or less. The flow of the urine when you urinate might shift the stones a little which can be experienced with pain. The stones are either very small or placed in specific location on the urinary tract. The scans might reveal the kidney stones if they are the cause for this condition.
If the stones are small enough, you might want to increase the intake of fluids in order to flush the stones. If they are located in very bad location that might damage the kidneys in the future, the doctors might recommended surgery or lithotripsy to remove the stones.
