What Could Persistent Pain In Lower Abdomen While Having IBS Indicate?
for the last month I have been having a pain in lower left abdomen. Had a pelvic exam, nothing. Had an ultra sound, nothing. I have IBS. I feel like I need to have a bowel movement constantly. I can have a regular movement one time, then the next several are small and thin. I have been nauseated but not vomiting. My appetite has decreased, but I still do eat. The pain in my abdomen was off and on but now is more constant. Not severe, but discomfortable. What do you think it is?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to irritable bowel syndrome. I recommend to use an over the counter option such as Imodium to treat the frequent bowel movements. I also recommend using daily probiotics. I recommend to avoid food that can trigger the symptoms such as spicy or too acidic foods.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
