Have Had UTI. Why Am I Getting Pain In Lower Stomach?
Question: I'm having pain in my lower stomach,lower back an also my lower sides. When I'm sitting,standing or laying down it hurts. But laying down for a little bit eases the pain a little but it's still a very uncomfortable pain. This started three days ago with my sides an stomach hurting an yesterday an today it's all three. I haven't excerised or done anything to be sore from, I'm peeing fine, I've had an UTI before an I don't have no symtoms of that. BM are fine. Please help
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
Before proceeding further I presume that your menstrual history is normal and that you have not missed your periods. Do let us know if you have taken any medication for relief?
I would suggest that you get the following investigations done:
1. Urine routine.
2. Ultrasound of abdomen including KUB region.
As you are mentioning that your bowel movements are fine and you had UTI the following possibilities come to mind for which the above investigations will be useful:
1. Cystitis.
2. Ureteric calculi.
3. Pelvic inflammatory disease.
In the interim you can take one tablet of diclofenac and observe.
I hope I have responded to your query to your satisfaction. Do revert back in case you need any clarifications or would like to share more facts.
Wishing you an early recovery.

I had the Mirena for a year an 4 months an I stoped having menstrual. I had it removed Dec. 2012 an went to the pill an since having it removed my husband an I have had unprotected sex but I've been taking my pill everyday an on time an i had my first menstrual three weeks ago. I took a pregnancy test two weeks ago an it was negative. Could being pregnant make me hurt like this an a nonstop pain?
The reason I had the Mirena removed is I had a pelvic infection I took antibotics for it an haven't had any problems since.
For the pain I've took motroin but no relief payed on heating pad no relief.
Also while I'm laying down I get a weriod tingly feeling in my stomach but that might just be gas
Sorry for not including all of this earlier this is my first time but I hope this helps an maybe I can get some sleep an relief. Thank you

Hi,
Thank you for the update. The details suggest that you are not pregnant and the pain is not associated with it.
It is good to know that your UTI was controlled and you followed it up. However re-infection can always take place and hence my view of the possible causes remain the same as mentioned above:
1. Cystitis
2. Pelvic inflammatory disease
3. Ureteric calculus
Hence, I suggest that you go for an ultrasonography examination.
Motrin or diclofenac will give you some relief but not complete.
I hope I have responded to your query to your satisfaction. Please feel free to revert back for any clarifications.
Wishing you an early recovery.
