Having Abdominal Pain. Had Bouts Of Constipation, Tried OTC Medicine. Had Bowel Movements But Still Constipated. Suggest?

I have been having abdominal pain for the past 3 days. I have had recent bouts of this in the past few months. It ranges from a feeling of mild constipation to severe pain in the lower central abdominal area. It doesn't seem to be only on one side or the other. I have tried OTC medication to help with constipation. I have had bowel movements in the past few days, but it still feels like I am constipated. I don't know if it is an issue with my bowels or with my uterus/fallopian tubes. Nothing seems to lessen the pain, even after a bowel movement. I don't have any health insurance. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Gastroenterologist,  's  Response
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).

You haven't mentioned your age which is must. If you are above 50 years then you should undergo colonoscopy examination for evaluation and If not then get an ultrasound abdomen especially for pelvic organs and kidney ureter and bladder. And take lots of fibers in your diet (may be psyllium fibers) along with a laxative that is the combination of sodium picosulphate, milk of magnesia, and liquid paraffin like syrup cremaffin plus. And take some antispasmodic agent like mebeverine

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
