What causes abdominal pain after intercourse?
Patient: Hi, I have a pain in lower left abdomen below my naval along with intestinal gas noises around the same location now for three weeks.  Two weeks ago I went to a urologist and put me on 1 month of Cipro assuming it is prostatitis but I'm still having having the pain.  It seemed to start after protected sex, but was tested for stds (all negative).  Is there anything else it could be? Doctor: Hi.Thanks for your query.The pain in the abdomen below the naval with intestinal gas noises can obviously are due to an intestinal infection. The Cipro should have helped you in spite of it was given for Prostatitis.This indicates the need for further evaluation by:- Clinical examination of the abdomen by physical examination, per-rectal examination for prostate, -X-ray of the abdomen in standing position.-Ultrasonography of the abdomen, pelvis, per-rectal also for genito-urinary system.-Routine tests of blood, urine and stool. Once the proper diagnosis has been made, the treatment will be guided. Take care to have plenty of oral fluids, avoid outside foods and beverages.
