What Causes Severe Pain In The Lower Abdomen?

Why do i get awful stabbing pains in my abdomen and uterus area? I m a women and it s so uncomfortable all the time, and my periods are so heavy! It s not menstrual cramps because it happens all day every day and it burns and fizzes. there is something terribly wrong and it seems I should ve been pregnant. Pretty scary and unfair.

Hi,

I'm of the following opinion:
1. Take the opinion of a medical specialist who might ask for an investigation like endoscopy, gastric analysis, colonoscopy. At present all I can say is that it might be a 'gastrointestinal' symptom thus you should contact either general surgeon, gastroenterologist or gynecologist and if not sure consult your general physician who after reviewing your case history and physical examination will refer you to specialist concerned.

2. Most common diagnoses of lower abdominal pain relate to uterine, gonadal, renal, and bladder complications, [less common causes like primary dermatologic and musculoskeletal problems as well as referred pain and neuropathies related to underlying vertebral and spinal cord complications can also occur], so examination is mandatory for further workup and management.

In females, consult a gynecologist for any underlying pathologies like endometriosis, uterine fibroids or pelvic inflammatory disease [PID]. If after pelvic examination the doctor suspects an underlying condition, she may order further investigations like MRI, CT, hysteroscopy, laparoscopy since surgery may be needed to remove the abnormal tissue [if any].

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

Regards,
Dr. Munish Sood,
