Q: Since last night, when I urinate my lower left side of my abdomen starts to hurt and stops hurting when I am finished urinating. What could be causing the pain? It is a very sharp pain.

A: Your looking at the very least a UTI and the very most a possible bladder infection. You need to make an appointment with your doctor and go along and get checked.

What could be causing this abdomen pain?

Q: When I stand up Especially if I stand up quickly I get a pain in my lower right abdomen, and it goes away. I had this when I was pregnant with my last baby. I had her 10 months ago. I don’t remember having the pain until later in the pregnancy. If I am pregnant (which I hope I am!) I would only be like 2 weeks along. I have 2 children already. Is it possible to get the Ligament stretching pain that early in Pregnancy? If not Do you have any guesses what it may be?

A: First let me tell you what under your lower right side of your abdomen. From outside to inside it is the skin, subcutaneous tissue, peritoneum (which covers your small and large intestine), the terminal portion of ileum, the caecum, the appendix and the initial part of the ascending colon. Elaborating all the conditions which can cause your lower right abdominal is going to be quite lengthy as some problem with all the structure named above can cause the pain. I think that your previous pregnancy is not involved in the pain as it was 10 months ago. It must be a condition which initiated in during later period of your pregnancy giving you the false impression that it may be related the pregnancy.Pain related to movement has many answer. It could be that there is some problem related to your vertebral column, movement of which can press on nerve originating from it and cause the pain. Other possible explanation could be a stone in the ureter (a pipe like structure which carries urine from your kidney to the urinary bladder), although this is unlikely as the pain is very severe.You should not hope that you are pregnant and at the same time having a pain in the right lower abdomen, as this a characteristic presentation of a condition known as ectopic pregnancy, which could be life threatening.My advice , go and consult your doctor. If you do and find out what you are suffering from, I would be highly obliged if you could share it with me. Just want to know what it is.
