What Causes Dull Pain In The Abdomen Near The Pubic Bone?
i am 34yr old, 172cm tall, 58kg, generally very healthy. i went to Asia last month, living in clean conditions but shared bathrooms. now i have dull pain in lower abdomen... usually left side, sometimes closer to pubic bone and occasionally right side. some white vaginal discharge, not smelly. had gastro bout whilst over there, medium level, not severe. lasted on and off for up to 2 weeks. took a couple of immodium tablets, that's all. could I have diverticulitis.... vaginal infection....??? have had i think Giardia whilst over there 2 years ago and one recurrent bout 6months later. that was far worse than this time.

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Your symptoms are more towards UTI - urinary tract infection / fungal infection / STD sexually transmitted diseases.
2.You have not mentioned any thing related to bowel pathology, other that previously you have got infected.
3.Sharing bathrooms has very less chances to get transmitted any diseases.
4.In this case, a swab from the vaginal discharge, urine complete analysis, and an ultrasound abdomen pelvis would help you to get better.
5.Get an appointment with your GP and get the needful investigations done and a course of antibiotics would help.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
