I seem to have pass gas and it smells very bad too.  my pain on my admonen is soo bad that I have  heatig pad on my stomach.
Hello! Thank you for the query. Your pain in that area can be caused by several issues including stomach issues (peptic ulcer, stomach inflammation), urinary tract stones/inflammation, bacterial infection of gastrointestinal tract or even bowels' obstruction. Stomach issues usually give upper abdominal pain which is associated with foods intake. The pain is dull and does not go away with painkillers. Urinary tract issues give also frequent urinating, burning while urinating, lower abdominal pain, fever. Infection usually gives also loose stools, bad smelling stools, fever, nausea. Bowels obstruction (partial) can give cramps and bloating. I suggest you to consult your doctor. Abdominal ultrasound, blood work, urinalysis should be done at first. If nothing will be found, gastrostomy should be next. Hope this will help. Regards.
