Hello,

I am thinking if you are having some adhesion in right hepatic flexure which might be causing you all these symptoms because it can even cause constipation. All this could be infectious origin also like tuberculosis. So I would recommend you to get an endoscopy and ultrasound abdomen. If any pathology found out then treatment will be easy. If nothing is found I think it's better to wait for some time with no worries.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
