Suggest treatment for sharp abdominal and groin pain
Patient: I m a Female, 25yrs old. About a week ago, I had to hold urine for about 4hours during hospital rounds..The urgency went away then returned suddenly, I had an accident trying to find a bathroom.During voiding, I felt a sharp supra-pubic pain. Since then, every time my bladder is fulling to full, I feel sharp pain in lower abdomen and groin area. It has gradually worsened over the past week. Some times I don t feel the urge to void, I feel the pain first before the urge. When I have voided the pain reduces, but there s persistent dull pain in the lower abdomen that lingers for a few hours. Feels like bloating. I do not have increased frequency or urgency, my urine is normal. During voiding, some small amounts of retained urine comes out in a palsating manner after the main stream is over, about 1-2times. when I strain to push the rest out I feel severe sharp pain in my groin. Could it be a UTI? I have no chronic medical conditions. Doctor: Hello,The symptoms are probably related to the over stretching of the bladder walls and minor trauma to the urethra by your trying to hold the urine and then the sudden let go. It would disappear after a few days once your system has repaired itself.You can also get a urine examination done if you are worried. It would show if you have a urinary infection.Wish you good health.Dr. Noble Zachariah
