I suddenly began to have sharp very severe pains in my lower abdomen. So severe that I felt I may pass out. I also felt pressure in my rectum. The pain in my abdomen has subsided. But I still feel the pressure in my rectal area. I have also noticed that my urine has a strong odor.
Hi! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. From your history, it seems that you might be harboring some kind of intestinal infection giving rise to such symptom. If I were your doctor, I would advise you not to eat from outside if you do, to prevent recurrent intestinal infection. I would advise you to go for a stool test for ova and cyst, and an also a urine test both routine and microscopic. If any of these are positive, I would treat it with an appropriate antibiotic and this would relieve you of your symptoms. If it did not relieve you, I would possibly go for an ultrasound of abdomen to rule out any intra-abdominal pathology. Till then, I would advise you for an anti-spasmodic and a proton pump inhibitor for a symptomatic relief. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
