Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Why Am I Experiencing Recurrent Abdominal Spasms While Sneezing Or Coughing?
Hello, This question is for Dr. Atul Wankhede, Orthopedic Surgeon. Doctor I want your opinion on an injury I sustained several years ago and have lived with it. Incident: I am tall 6 3 and normal weight. I was carrying an object approx. 40 pounds and hit my forehead to a low ceiling. Immediately I got a cramp (spasm) on the left side rectus abdominis tendinous intersection directly across the umbilical. The cramp was approx. 3 inches long and the bulge was approx. thickness of middle finger; very hard and painful. To relieve the cramp and pain I bent over and messaged the cramp for several minutes. I had continued to get the same problem very time I sneezed or coughed. I now place my left hand with pressure on the area before I sneeze or cough which prevents the cramp/spasm. What is your opinion on what could have happened and why would not heal?
If your pelvic floor muscles are weak, they struggle to cope with the pressure surge during sneezing or coughing, leading to discomfort or pain. pelvic floor exercises may help to strengthen the muscles. Homoeopathic medicine helps in relieving the spasm.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Khyati Dhiren Chbeda, Homeopath
