Hi,
Based on the symptoms you have described, you may be experiencing pain in the right side of your abdomen due to conditions such as hernia, appendicitis, cystitis, or diverticulitis. Seeing a doctor is essential if you experience pain in your stomach from sneezing or if the pain persists or worsens.
It is also possible that the sharp pressure you felt on the right side of your stomach while sneezing may be related to muscle strain or weakness in the pelvic floor muscles. Repetitive sneezing or coughing can cause stress or incontinence on the pelvic floor, which can lead to pain and discomfort.
To manage the pain in your stomach while sneezing, you can try to eliminate the triggers that cause sneezing or reduce the frequency of sneezing. Relaxation techniques or physical therapy techniques like pelvic floor therapy, strengthening affected muscles, and posture correction can also help alleviate symptoms. It is important to speak with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and receive appropriate treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
