What Causes Intense Lower Abdominal Pain Long After Treating Kidney Stones?
Male, 55 yrs. old: Recently I ve been experiencing a sharp pain 5-6 below my belly button, I believe in the bladder region, when I blow my nose in the morning. I m wondering whether this is left over symptoms from the kidney stone that I dealt with roughly 2-3 months ago? I had 2 stents put in throughout the episode and in the end the urologist was able to laser the stone in two and basket grab the pieces towards the lower end of my ureter within my bladder. Other details: no pain during urination, no frequent or increased urination. Any thoughts regarding these sharp pains?

Hello,
Lower abdominal pain may be due to urinary tract infection or cystitis or colitis or rectus muscle spasm etc. Drink plenty of liquids and take tablet drotaverin and mefenamic acid for three days. If symptoms have not improved, please consult with your urologist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
