Pain in the abdominal area?

[beautifulangel76]

I have been having some pain in the abdominal area. It feels like I'm on my period but every time I check it isn't there. I have tried drinking water but that didn't help. The only things that did help was a heating pad and laying a certain way. I haven't had any discharge or constipation. What could this possibly be?

Look at this diagram and tell me which area you are referring to as being in pain. Once you specify which area and I ask you a few other questions related to the problem, we might be able to narrow down what is going on. (Sending this as private because you may not be comfortable answering some of them for others to see.

After telling me which area (s) seem to be causing the most pain, I also need to know the following:

1) How old are you?
2) When was your last period?
3) Are you sexually active?
4) Have you noticed any changes in your bowel movements lately? (Are you going more/less? Any change in color or consistency?)
5) When was the last time you had a bowel movement?
6) Are you having any other symptoms that may or may not be related to the problem?
7) Are you on any type of medications or supplements?

After answering these questions, I might have a few more that would be more specific to the problem. But let's start with these first. :)

Any swelling or tendenderness?

Does anything make it worse or feel better? Ex: lying, moving, standing, sitting, putting pressure on it

No problems with utinating? Starting or stopping, burning or pain when peeing?

[beautifulangel76]

Laying down on my stomach or being kind of crouched up but with my upper body straight. I don't have any problems with peeing.

[beautifulangel76]

Sorry the laying down part makes it feel better. Nothing makes me feel worse

[Nurse_lady]

I have been offline for about a week or so. Are you feeling any better now?

[beautifulangel76]

I took some laxatives which helped but I have been having trouble going without one.

[Nurse_lady]

Hmm. How often do you take them? Make sure you're getting enough fiber in your diet.

[beautifulangel76]

I don't take them often that was actually the first time I ever had done that

[Nurse_lady]

Well that's good. You probably just need more fiber in your diet. Most people don't get as much as they need anyway.

It could be you're ovulating, you have gas, or a range of other things. Talk to your mom about it.
