Sharp lower abdominal pains, while sneezing also. Reason for pain?
Patient: I being having really bad lower abdomal pains and when I sneeze I have being experiencing rather sharp pains in the lower left side.sometimes during the day I also experience sharp pains in my lower abdoman they are really painful and just shot threw my lower abdoman.I really don t now what to make of this.I m female and 20 years old Doctor: Hi.   Well during the sneeze intraabdominal pressure is raised and if you have any organ enlargement it can cause pain. Usually it is liver, spleen or uterus. Also stomach disorders such as hiatal hernia can cause such symptoms. Dont be worried , this is nothing serious.It sounds to me like gynaecological story. You should just do lab tests and abdominal+pelvic ultrasound to rule this out.  Wish you good health.
