Sharp Lower Abdominal Pains, Constipated. Took Laxatives, Still Back Pain, Tightness In Lower Back. Remedy ?

I was admitted to the ER with sharp Lowe abdominal pain. They released me saying that it might have been the IUD I have that irritates me. They sent me home and the pain stopped. After 2 days, I was constipated (which never happened to me because I always have runny stools so this is worrying me). I took some laxatives but feel like the bowel movements were incomplete. I have backpain and tightness in the lower back region. My stomach hurts and feels full (not the bloating type but it still hurts). Help!

Hi ! You have not mentioned if you have got fever or not. It is possible that there is a pelvic organ infection,or a urinary tract infection which is bothering you. Some IUDs do cause such problem, and your doctor may advise you some alternate mode of contraception. I would suggest you to visit your family physician, who may advise you for routine test for urine,and if required an ultrasound of the abdomen.
Wishing you an early recovery.
