How Can Pain And Bloating In The Lower Abdomen Be Treated?
I have had pain in my lower abdomen with gas and constipation for the past few days. The pain was bad enough that I could not go to work, the same thing happened a month ago. I was diagnosed with diverticulitis a few years ago but had no symptoms of it. I am wondering if I need a colonoscopy or what I should do. I see my gynecologist next week. I am a 66 year old female.

Hi,
Seems intestine colic related, though OBGY can guide.
I recommend to consult a gastroenterologists after that visit if needed.
Primary relief with:
- Bulk forming laxatives as ispaghula husk or psyllium husk.
- Hydration with plenty of liquids.
- Strict dietary measures.
- Regular walking and exercises.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
