Hi guys, not sure if anyone can advise but for the last 2 days, all of a sudden I have been experiencing excruciating pain in my lower abdomen. I get to the bathroom and when sitting the pain get much worse (almost unbearable and it takes my breath away) and then I defecate. Afterwards, the pain goes away and I am fine until I need to defecate again. Anyone know what this maybe and whether I should see the doctor today or give it time to see if it clears? Thank you!
If the pain is when you are actually defecating with pain in the anus,then fissure in ano or piles comes to mind,however if it is just before and the pain is in the abdomen, then diverticulosis comes to mind.
No big deal at the moment,give it a couple of days to monitor the situation.
Thanks for all your answers, Yes, I was checked over in October and was diagnosed as having ibs. However, this is a different kind of pain, it feels similar to a period pain. It is now hurting around the lower abdomen and lower back and hurts when I sit at a certain angle. It is also now hurting when I urinate. I guess I should get checked over tomorrow.
