What Is The Cause For Pain And Pressure In My Abdomen?

I have been experiencing pain in lower left abdomen, pressure, it sometimes can be worse before urinating. Sometimes if I'm sleeping on my stomach the pain awakens me the pain is sharp like a rock. No fever or chills, no foul odor with urine. Pain is intermittent.

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Your symptoms are very characteristic for urinary tract infection. Lower abdomen is where bladder is located. During the night, when you do not urinate for some time, the amount of bacteria rises.
You may also notice some trace of blood in the urine. Frequent urinating and burning while urinating can be present.

I suggest you to visit a doctor, have urine analysis and abdominal ultrasound done. IN case of infection, antibiotics are necessary.

IN a meanwhile please increase mineral water intake, try to urinate more frequently and start cranberries supplementation.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
