Tender Lower Left Abdomen

Hi there,i am a 19 year old male and i am very stressed. I have had stomach pains in my lower stomach part,like 7cm below my tummy,the pain is like binding pain,as if someone is tightening your lower stomach area. I pass motion like 3 times per day and it is normal though sometimes i have the sensation that i have to pass more but nothing comes,stools are brown and not narrow.

Just 2-3 days after my initial pains started,i went overseas and the doctor there gave me norfloxacin as he suspected a urine infection and i took the whole dose for a week and after that i was fine.But 5 days later,it was the same time so i had another course of norfloxacin and it was the same thing-i felt well when i was on norfloxacin but the pains came back after finishing the course.

My doctor did a urine test for me when i returned from overseas.It was a urine culture and everything was normal and he said the results were very good,he then diagnosed me with IBS and gave me medicine to stop the stomach spasms but nothing has worked now.I am very stressed and i am getting all wild thoughts like having colon cancer and stuff.I started smoking 6 months ago only and just quit today due to family issues.

Please advice me.Thanks

All the organic possibilities should be excluded first before concluding that some abdominal pain is due to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBS is a functional disorder without any organic lesion.
Can you perform abdominal ultrasound?
Can you also do some blood analyzes (sedimentation rate, blood count, liver status, kidney status...?

Re: lower stomach pain

Exactly the same problem i've been having. Im a just turned 30 yr old female and docs gave me med for urine infection, but prob still there.

The pain seems to get worse when im stressed. I've been told it could be IBS but like Dr. Nikola said, all organis possibilities need to be excluded first.

It would be great to hear how you got on eggprata.

In the meantime, I'm going to keep insisting i get checked out properly.

hi there.Sorry for the long long reply,had been very busy and just found time to log in today.And it happened that the pain has come back AGAIN ! I had been well for 3 months but now the same thing is happening again for the past 3 days.

Is it anything to worry about? But i feel better after i pass motion but after some time,like 30mins,the pain and tightness comes back again.Any idea?

Your symptoms don't sound serious but it is hard to tell you preciselly what the problem is without performing some basic medical researches: physical examination, blood analyses and abdominal ultrasound. It could be a simple maldigestion, IBS, intestinal infection etc.

Hi...I agree with Dr. Nikola. First of all, I think you must do some blood analyses to confirm that everything is ok. Ask your doctor about that. On the other hand, you must relax. IBS is a syndrome which is associated with our nervous system. Any problem you have cans appear as a stomach pain.

lower stomach pain

yes, this is also the same case for me. The pain in stomach is very intense and motion does not come. This remains for nearly a full day and next day subsides. I had done the ultrasound and all blood and stool test and all were ok.
This happens if the stomach is either empty ( or meal postponed to late timings)or heavy luggage lifting or shifting has coincided together. I have taken all tablets like flagel, and gastric , but feels the Aurvedic gasonil gives quick relief.however the pain remains for a day. Aizaz
