Brief Answer:
Could be Recurrent IBS pain
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for getting back with the answers. I'm extremely sorry for using medical terminology. I meant that do you feel burning sensation while urinating. Your answers are suggesting following probable causes(can be further ruled out on the basis of investigations):
1. Mal-digestion
2. Recurrent pain due to IBS
3. Pelvic Inflammatory disease
As you are already taking a number of medications and still pain is increasing in intensity so I would recommend you to visit hospital where above mentioned conditions can be ruled out by undergoing some investigations like ultrasound abdomen/pelvis, CBC & urine complete examination. Aspirin can sometimes also exaggerate abdominal pain. I would not recommend medication at the moment because it will mask the pain and it would be difficult for examining doctors to reach a conclusive diagnosis. Meanwhile take lots of fluids because diarrhea causes dehydration which further aggravates the problem.
AVOID(they will aggravate diarrhea):
- Fatty Food
- Dairy Products
- Artificial sweeteners
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
