What Causes Lower Abdominal Pain And Loss Of Appetite?

I have lower abdominal pain & no appetite. I went to the Dr. and he said something about my white blood cell count & put me on an antibiotic for a UTI (that has not helped at all-I did not feel urgency to go to the bathroom...which I usually get when I have a UTI). Any ideas on what this can be?

Hi there,

If your doctor put you on an antibiotic for UTI, then, your white blood cell count might have been higher than normal range. If your urine analysis has also shown UTI, then, the antibiotic will help improve your symptoms.

Furthermore, bowel infection can also be treated with antibiotic. As you may see, there are many of your medical data missing in order to give an appropriate answer.

Can you please provide the reports of the lab tests you had? I need to analyze them myself to come with final conclusions.

Meanwhile, I highly recommend to get the medications as prescribed by your doctor and drink plenty of water/fluids.

Wish fast recovery!
