Question : For years now I've had pain in the lower right abdomen. I'm 44 and had uterine ablasion so no periods. I have been told several times my white count is fine and not my appendix. Went to the gyn who says I have a small cyst but nothing that would cause the pain I'm in. Any thoughts?? I'm in a lot of pain and this comes and goes every few months and sometimes last for several weeks. I have now been in pain since Saturday. I don't want to keep going to the dr to be told I have a stomachache to take ibuprofen. I think this is my intestines or appendix.

Hi

It seems you have some form of collitis

Avoid junk foods

Take a good probiotic twice a day for seven to ten days
If this does not work get a stool report done and get back to me

Hope this helps

Thanks. I've always had digestive problems. I took senocot natural laxatives EVERY day just to go. If I don't take them I have gone several days and not went to the bathroom. Drs keep telling me this is normal and not everyone is regular.
