What Could Be The Reason For Sharp Abdominal Pain Before Bowel Elimination Considering Having Total Hysterectomy, Colon Spasms?

left side coming around left upper mid section, sometimes lower left abdominal pain upon quick moves . sometimes sharp pain in his region before a bowel elimination which will relieve the pain. I seem to always be aware of something not right in this area. I am a female, 71 years old. Had a total hysterectomy last year in March, a couple of polyps and a fibroid were removed, non-cancerous. I seem to strain a lot because I am more prone to constipation. I have had colon spasms about twice last year, My GYN doctor recommended Metamucil, stool softener..

Hello.

Thank you for the query.

Such symptoms indicate diverticulitis or other large intestine issue. This should be ruled out at first.
If the pain is in the scar area, hernia is also possible. Especially if there is a lump in this area.
I suggest you to have abdominal ultrasound, blood work, urine analysis. Colonoscopy should be scheduled after infksmmation healing.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
