Pain in lower right abdomen

[alybaly402]

Hi. I'm an 18 yr old girl. And I recently started my year abroad. I also have IBS.
I've been really constipated for about 1.5 weeks now. I've tried suppositories, mirilax (I've increased the dose bc I take every night anyway) and an enema. The enema worked the most. I went to te bathroom but I don't think everything came out.
I've had this pain in my lower right abdomen (right near my pelvic bone) for a couple days now and I think it's getting worse. It gets worse when I have a full bladder and Pee and it also hurts more when I eat. It feels like someone is squeezing my insides. It doesn't hurt all the time it only hurts in spurts. It also doesn't really hurt when I press on it.
Can someone please help me figure out what this is? Thanks

Alex, it is probably best to see a doctor. Pain, especially if it does not subside over days and is getting worse, is always an indication for an ER visit or a visit to your local GI or GP.

Hope you are getting better soon.

Thanks so much. If it doesn't feel better tomorrow I'll talk to someone.

How are you now? Did you manage to see a doctor?

Hi! Thanks for asking. I talked to my gastro and we determined that it was most likely constipation. We increased my mirilax and I added 2 tsp of milk of magnesia every night for a couple days. I started going to the bathroom eiser :dusty: . They pain slowly subsided.
I also think it might have been an ovarian cyst. I'm going to keep a close eye on it.
Thanks!
