What causes pain and bloating of stomach?
Patient: hey, i m a 16 year old girl and for about a year i have been experiencing a lot of discomfort. My lower abdomen area is very tight and i feel bloated constantly, that area makes a loud rumberling noise and also a whining noise and it feels sometimes that my bum makes these noises aswell. its like a feeling that i need to fart but i cannot. i m also constipated nearly all the time and also have lower back pain near the kindneys on both sides this is at its worse in the mornings when i have just gotten up and then goes, but sometimes it can be a light ache throughout the day. i ve also noticed i ve constantly got bad breath i will brush my teeth and about 5 minutes later my bad breath will come back(this is ruining my confidence and i m becoming more and more seclusive because i m scared to talk to people in case they smell it.) I also have itches on my thighs and arms usally late at night. it would be really great if you could help me because this is taking over my life and i m getting really depressed about it. I can t concentrate in class because i am contantly worring that my stomache/abdomen is going to make noises. Doctor: HI.Thanks for an elucidate history. All these symptoms are suggestive of Entero-colitis . For the causative reasons to be found undergo tests like colonoscopy, Contrast enhanced CT scan of the abdomen , routine blood , urine and stool tests. Consult a Gastroenterologist to get a proper clinical examination and medical treatment . In such conditions at your age anxiety and stress have a larger part to play , and it has to be well controlled by you at any cost and see the difference .
