Brief Answer:
It'irritation followed by spasm of bowels.
Detailed Answer:
Hi sberki22,
Thanks for the query..I understand your concern.
Such pain is caused by distention of bowels(hard &bulky motion or forceful loose morion along with gases)This causes stress to gut wall &followed by intermittent spasms of the muscles built in it.
* Indigestion,infection ,food allergies, irritable bowel syndrome can cause loose motions /wrong life styles can cause constipation.. Malignancy of bowels need to be excluded in case the change in bowel habit is sudden &without any signs of infection &with loss of weight. In all the cases inflation of lower bowel result to irritate &contract bowel wall &cause pain.
to combat infection or constipation .
*Self care- take sufficient water orally(add few drops of lemon &a pinch of salt +half a spoon of sugar to a glass) / sleep over your abdomen /.Light hot pack may be used./ Over the counter antispasmodic pill like Cyclopam (half a pill twice a day)/.Keep on walking in between./Have light /easily digestible food.
*In case of no relief,you need specific medication & treatment.Please consult your family physician for primary evaluation &management of the problem Also you may need more specific imaging investigation to pin point the cause.followed by specific treatment.
I hope that helps you.Please do ask if you need more information.
