Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Dear Ms
I assume you are referring to the lowest part of abdomen just above penis that is supra pubic region.
Evaluation of supra pubic pains requires further history like
1. Are there any Urinary complaints like excessive crying while urinating, increased frequency of urine, bed wetting
2. Any complaints of constipation ; either passing hard stools or infrequent stools.
Pain in supra pubic region is likely to be either due to Urinary bladder ot colon problem. It would be more helpful if you could provide the additional information asked for.
Thanks
