Q: Someone Please Read... Low Abdominal Pain

Would someone who has infrequent abdominal pain, have reason to believe it is something serious? For as far back as 15 years, just ever so often, but very uncomfortable, scale of 1-10 I think I get close to 9. I feel clammy and sweaty,the anxiety of it) it's either slightly right sided or mid low abdomen, mostly has happened after I have went to bathroom, but then I leave and start feeling crampy pain, not severe, and it usually has only lasted 30 min tops, then subsides. I understand it could be ibs, which I know is bad enough but as long as i've done this, would it be anything more serious if i've done it this long and i'm still alive?? Like cancerous or anything. I've mentioned to my Dr. But it happens just so rarely they don't take me serious I guess. One time I even passed out becasue the uncomfortableness of it. Which isnt'uncommon for me, when i'm in pain I tend to do that. I have no blood in stool, pretty normal bowel movements otherwise. I tend to pace when I do this, because I can't get comfortable either laying down nor setting. Almost like they say with a kidney stone.

I have ibs and i've never experienced any pain like that whatsoever, with ibs you will have either constipation or the complete oposite along with the abdominal pain.

But on another note have you ever been checked for ovarian cysts? I had cysts and I would get the most excruciating abdominal pain of life it happened every so often for about 5 years until I got them removed.

Maybe ask your doctor to send you for a ultrasound of your bladder, kidney's and surrounding area. Thats what I did when I was havign that same pain
