What Causes Pain In Lower Abdomen And Buttock?

I have pain in my lower left abdomen and my left buttock. It feels like period pain, however, I have been through the menopause. I am bloated and I have wind, however, I cannot pass stools. This has been happening for over 48 hours now continuously. I have experienced this pain a few times recently but it usually eases after walking around.

Hello, thank you for writing in to HCM.

You seem to be having constipation\ IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). Include a lot of fibre in your diet, and take small frequent meals instead of three major ones. Also you need to take plenty of water and other oral fluids throughout the day. Continue to walk for sometime daily as a part of routine. Take pentaprazole tablets empty stomach as well as pro kinetics. Add mild laxatives.

However, just because you've reached menopause does not mean that there are no chances of pathology in the uterus\ovaries and appendages as well as in the genital urinary system.
So I'd recommend you to get an abdominal ultrasound to check for all above mentioned possibilities.You can see your doctor with reports or post them to HEALTH CARE MAGIC for further advice.
