How Can Constipation And Lower Abdominal Pain Be Treated?
For the past several days, I haven t had a full bowel movement and yesterday began having pain in my lower abdomen, so much that I ve been unable to sleep. I have no sensation that I need to have a bowel movement, just the lower abdominal pain. Should I simply wait until morning and go to a pharmacy and get a laxative, or call my doctor?
