What Causes Stomach Pain After Running?

Ran a race 1.5 weeks ago. Feeling pain in stomach region about the pubic region but a little higher. Pain is less today than two days ago. Training for marathon in two weeks. Couldn t run past 3 miles. Groin strain? Other possible strain. Hard to do sit ups. They are very uncomfortable. Running the race in memory of my Mom who died 3 weeks ago and daughter in law who we lost during child birth in May of this year. I can t miss this race.

Hi,

The pain in the lower abdomen under pubic bone after running could be muscle stretch, inflammation of pubic joint, inflammation or involvement of intestines or urinary bladder (if they were full while running).

The way out would be after rest for a few days/taking anti-inflammatory pill over the counter after eating. You may need specific drugs also. For bladder of bowel symptoms persisting after 5 days.

Must eat light food or drink water 3-4 hours before running. Do stretching exercises for before running. Drink sips of water while or just before running to avoid dehydration.

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

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
