What Causes Severe Stabbing Lower Abdominal Pain While Sneezing Or Coughing?

I get really sudden severe stabbing pain in my right, lower abdomen (right above the hip bone) when I cough or sneeze. It aches right through to my back and the pain is slowly getting worse over a few days. I also feel like I have a cold or flu coming on. Throat kind of hurts and just kind of don't feel good. It's a vague feeling of being unwell. Less hungry too but still some appetite. Oh ya - it hurts when I push to have a bowel movement too.

Hi,Good Evening,Thanks for your query.
I studied your query with all the details and understood your health concerns.
-In my opinion-the cause -of the severe stabbing pain in lower abdomen,
-with referred pain to back
-and that pain worstening over few days- is due to the -Inguino-scrotal hernia mostly-as you have to push up when sitting for the bowel movements.
-Referrence of pain to back-is due to the spermatic cord and testicular compression and stretching.
All this has increased and precipitated due to the URTI with acute rhinitis with sneezing and coughing.
-Lack of appetite is due to the URTI and not due to herniation.
So this would help you to understand the worries you had with this lower abdominal pain.
Hope this would help you to plan the treatment with ER surgeon.
Wishing you early recovery.
Wellcome to HCM for further query in this regard.
Good night from INdia.
