What causes pain in lower part of abdomen?
Patient: I ve recently had 2 loop excisions within 8 weeks of each other, the most recent was 5 weeks ago. The last week I have noticed my tummy feels quite hard and I feel very bloated but I also have an offed feeling in the lover part of my abdomen, more of a pulled muscle type of pain. Could I have an infection or is this normal Doctor: Hi,  I cannot say in your particular case, but generally, issues would be whether there is no or decreased stool. If there is pain, if the abdomen is painful and if the pain is made worse with rapidly easing up on the pressure during an exam; these would be bad signs.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
