What Causes Residual Abdomen Pain With Bowel Movement Mucus After An UTI?
i have had a UTI -- they originally gave me cipro but when the lab results cam eback I have been on Ceftin for 12 days now. Tne infection is gone but I still have pain in my abdomen. i also have noticed mucus after I have a bowel movement. i have never seen that before.
The urologist said the pain is from the irritaion of the infection -- but I am a little concerened at this point . It has been over 3 weeks now with the pain
Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a stool test for ova and cyst and treat it if positive. Also I would advise you to avoid eating from outside if you do to avoid any intestinal infection creeping in from these. In case of a female patient (you did not mention about your gender), I would also advise her for a clinical assessment by a gynaecologist to rule out a PID (pelvic infammatory disease) which might be responsible for the persistent abdominal pain. In addition, an abdominal ultrasound might be helpful in ruling out any other intra abdominal pathology responsible for the pain.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
