What Causes Lower Abdomen Pain With Episodes Of Fainting?

I have pain in my lower abdomine often. I have passed out twice from the pain before. I closed my eyes, held my stomach, and woke up on the floor a few minutes later. My mom has an oversized intestine and was wondering if I could have the same thing.

Hi! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

It is not necessary that you too would also get the same pathology as your mom had. However it is also necessary to investigate the cause of your pain making you pass out frequently. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for an ultrasound of whole abdomen to rule out the possibility of calculi either in the gall bladder, common bile duct or in the ureter causing such excruciating pain or a pathology oif any other intra abdominal organ. Till then you could go for an anti spasmodic drug for a symptomatic relief only.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef
