What Causes Abdominal And Lower Back Pain?
Hi I am 27 years old healthy don t smoke have the occational drink. I have two children in which they were very large babies. my last child was born 14 months ago and they were both delivered by c section. When I had my last child 14 months ago the Dr. said not to have any more children as my uterus was streched so far the he could see the baby through the uterus. A couple of months ago I got my first period as I breast fed my baby, the pain in my back was so bad I could hardly stand it. I was given naproxin by my Dr. for pain. Now I am having a lot of abdonminal pain low back pain and intercourse is to painful also I have a lot of bloating. I m thinking that I may have an infection. Went to the Dr. today swabs have been done and a rec has been sent off to an OBGYN. I would like a second thought on this. Very much in pain and I am not one of these people to be running to the Dr. for everything. what concerns should I have.

Hello,
Abdominal and lower back pain can have many different causes. Here are some possible causes of these types of pain:
* Muscular strain: One of the most common causes of lower back pain is muscular strain or sprain, which can be caused by lifting heavy objects or sudden movements that cause the muscles in the back to stretch or tear.
* Digestive problems: Abdominal pain can be caused by digestive problems such as indigestion, acid reflux, or inflammation of the stomach or intestines.
* Kidney stones: Kidney stones can cause pain in the lower back and abdomen. The pain could be severe, intermittent and recurrent.
* Urinary tract infections: Infections of the urinary tract can cause pain in the lower back and abdomen, as well as pain or burning during urination.
* Gynecological problems: Women may experience abdominal or lower back pain due to gynecological problems such as menstrual cramps, ovarian cysts, or endometriosis.
* Herniated discs: Herniated or bulging discs in the spine can cause lower back pain and sometimes abdominal pain if the herniation affects nerves that control the abdominal muscles.
* Sciatica: Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve, that is from the lower back down the legs, becomes compressed or irritated. This can cause lower back pain as well as pain, numbness, or tingling in the legs.
