Q: Abdominal vibrations
asked by: ARowe09 on January 26th, 2009

I am a healthy 56 yr. old male and in the last 4-6 months have started experiencing a vibration sensation in the lower left area of abdomen/pelvic region. It is not painful at all but I keep reaching to answer my cell phone thinking it is vibrating. What the heck is this?

Thanks Doc,
ALLEN ROWE

Colon Vibrations
I do not carry my cell phone on me, so I know this is not what is causing this. I have recently been having what can only be described as vibrations in my colon as my bowels move. I have IBS, but have never had this symptom before. It is rather bizarre feeling, and is so strong that I feel as though I should be able to feel it externally even though I cannot. It is not gas, but I can now tell when I will have to go to the bathroom several minutes before I get the urge due to the vibrations. I cannot find any info on this. Anyone????

vibration in pelvic region
Two years ago I had a small vibration in my lower right pelvic region. Was very minor, just kind of weird and I ignored it. I happened to go in for a colonoscopy because I'm in my 50's and it was just time to do that... thank god, too. Right about where that vibration was they took out a large, precancerous polyp and I haven't felt any vibration since. Well, in that area. Now it's back on the lower left side and scaring me a lot.. it's more noticeable and pretty much constant. I'm lucky my doctor isn't ignoring my concerns (if he were, I'd switch to one who wouldn't). He suggested an ultrasound of the ovaries first, and if nothing there then another colonoscopy. Not sure any of this relates to anyone else's situation, but you might not want to ignore that vibration...

What could be causing intermitten vibrations of the abdominals?
Thanks for the heads up. I've been experiencing vibrations on my lower right abdominal. I'm not yet 50 but will have it checked out anyway.
