General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

The commonest causes I can think of after reading your history are:
* Colitis that is inflammation of large intestine
* Enteritis as small intestine occupies the area you have mentioned
* Ureteric stone or urinary tract infection
* Cystitis that is inflammation of urinary bladder

In female patients the problems related to ovary and fallopian tubes can cause such symptoms. I would advise you to do a clinical examination by a general surgeon. Ultrasound the whole abdomen. Test blood, urine and stool. Get preliminary symptomatic and specific treatment. If there is no relief then CT scan and colonoscopy as you have mentioned.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
