What Could Dull Pain And Spasms In Lower Abdomen After Childbirth Indicate?

I have a dull pain in my lower left abdomen next to my hip, I have had this pain on and off for a few weeks now. Also I am getting rather loud rumbling noises and what feels like twitches/spasms in the same area. Passing gas seems to relieve the pain although this may be from me tensing that seems to give a feeling of relief. I had a baby 12 weeks ago and have a history of uti's. This pain is similar to a uti but I feel is not related. My height is 5ft 4in and I weigh 9st 8lb my age is 25.
Thanks

Hi,

Lower abdominal pain can occur due to many causes, according to your history the possible causes are:
- Gastrointestinal causes like constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, etc.
- Recurrence of urinary tract infection
- Rarely pelvic infection due to previous surgery

Taking plenty of oral fluids, avoiding constipation by taking high fiber diet, fruits and if needed laxatives can relieve the problem to some extent. If the symptoms persist better to get evaluated, please consult your gynecologist once get examined and undergo investigation is like urine microscopy, urine culture and sensitivity and ultrasound. With this work up the possible cause of your problem can be identified and treatment can be taken accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sree Gouri S. R., OBGYN
