What Could Be Wrong If Having Stabbing Pain In Abdomen, Burning While Passing Stools?

moderate to sharp pains in left mid torso and sometimes mid back in the same area. when I touch the area on my back, I can feel a 'stabbing' feeling in my front abdomen. my urine is normal, but my stool has a slight burning feeling, normal colouring. Please tell me what's wrong.

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

If I were your doctor, after a clinical examination of your abdomen I would advise you for a stool test for ova and cyst, followed by a per rectal examination to rule out a fissure to be the cause of burning feeling on defecation. I would also advise you for a sitz bath (sitting on a tub containing warm water for five minutes) three times a day to give you symptomatic relief and help in the healing of the fissure if one is present. In case of a fissure in ano, I would also advise you for an anti inflammatory, an antibiotic, and a stool softener. In case of any positive finding in the stool test, this could be treated as well.

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. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
