What Does Pain In The Lower Abdomen Along With Mucus In Stool Indicate?
I’m having pain in my lower abdomen thought it might be kidney stones but the pain has persisted all day started a 6 this morning and the pain was pretty strong but then during the day had 2 bowel movements and the pain was reduced but not gone have eaten very little today an apple and half a sandwich and have been drinking water all day and some cranberry juice and the last vowel movement looked like there was mucus mixed with the stool so what’s going on here.

Hello,
It could be many things and nothing. In an acute setting, I would suspect infectious colitis (salmonella, yersinia, amoebae, etc.) or, alternatively, debut of inflammatory bowel disease. If your discomfort and mucus bowel movements continue or get worse, I suggest you see a doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
