What Causes Discomfort In Abdomen With Vaginal Discharge?
I recently had some spotting (slight) for about a week, abdominal pain (all over). I saw my GYN and had a transvaginal sonogram and ultrasound on my abdomen. Everything was negative but I still experience discomfort in my abdomen and occationally slight discharge. (I am 55 and post-menapausal). She wants me to see a gastrointerologist but can t get in for a month. My question is in regard to my stool. I have noticed a change in the shape (that sounds strange). It s almost always crescent shaped. Is this a sign of anything of concern? P.S. Have always had a problem with constipation as well.
All your symptoms are due to constipation. This makes your stool staying inside your bowels for longer, putrification inside is causing excessive gas. This gas will cause bowel distention ending up with abdominal discomfort.
Until you see a gastroenterologist, should start taking: - gentle laxatives to empty your bowels - probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora - fiber-rich foods and supplement to help ease bowel movement.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
