Question : I am having very low abdomen pain. It hurts momentarily when I am having a bowel movement...then it is okay...but I still have pressure. Even when sleeping I can feel it. Standing makes it worse...but it doesn’t bend me over with pain...its just pressure. I was thinking it was gas related...so I took Donnital for it yesterday and it helped somewhat...but, still pressure. It is making the bladder feel full. My stomach is not distended. Is this the flu?

I have evaluated your query thoroughly .

* This seems more likely to be indigestion related issue from digestive enzyme
disturbances or others as calculus in the urinary system ( this does not seem
like flu ) .

glass of drinking lukewarm water helps .
