What Causes Heaviness In Lower Abdomen And Urge For Bowel Movements?
Sometimes I have a heavy feeling in the left side of my lower front abdomen, as if something is in there. I have a lot of bloating, no gas, inability to lose weight from "tummy" area. Lately, a sense that I need to have a bowel movement, but then the sense entirely disappears and I don't really need to go for about 12 hours. Also, a bulging (several years ago, that has never reoccured) behind my genitals and in front of my anus, which would fill with my bowel movement and I would have to push on it to deficate. This no longer happens.

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
These symptoms can be due to gastritis.
And for that i would suggest that you take acourse of a ppi tablet like pantaprazole or omeprazole for a coulpe of weeks. Also you need to avoid tea, coffee, soda drinks, and spicy foods, as these will make your gastritis worse.
Also you need to take a preprobiotics to regulate your bowel movements. And eat more of fresh fruits and fresh curds, and excercise regularly to help loose weight.
And as that bulging has not reoccurred so you need to worry about that.
Regards,
Dr. Ashish Verma
