What Does Sharp Pain In The Descending Colon Next To My Hip Indicate?
I am a 55 year old female, 5 5, 155 lbs. Good physical condition. Good health. I m having sharp pain in my decending colon, right next to my hip. It started yesterday morning. It feels like a big gas bubble is stuck there. I m stumped, is there anything easy(natural) I can try?

Hello,
Pain can sometimes occur if there is incomplete defecation (emptying of the bowel) or constipation. If this is an issue for you, then use a lot of fluids, increase fiber intake in the diet (fruits and vegetables) and a fiber supplement may be enough to help regularize movements. Using teas such as ginger or peppermint may also be helpful as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
