What causes pain in lower abdomen?
Patient: IVE BEEN HAVING WHITE DISCHARGE NO SMELL THOUGH, ALMOST A WEEK NOW AND BREASTS ARE VERY TENDER ALSO A PAIN IN MY LOWER RIGHT SIDE OF MY STOMACH. EVERY TIME I SIT UP FROM LAYING DOWN ITS A DULL PAIN AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT IT COULD BE. I FEEL LIKE IVE BEEN DOING SIT UPS FOR WEEKS BUT ONLY FEEL IT IN MY LOWER STOMACH. AND SOME LIGHT BACK PAIN. Doctor: Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.From the history, it seems that you have got a PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) giving rise to the discharge, and pain in the area mentioned. This is more so if you are sexually active. If I were your doctor, I would have referred you to a gynaecologist in your area, who after clinical assessment, might perform a culture sensitivity test of the discharge and a urine routine, microscopic, and culture sensitivity test, and an ultrasound of abdomen if need be to institute appropriate treatment.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 health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
