<human>: I m having gut pains across the front lower part of my abdomen. Hurts to press on it. Even when I move. I don t seem to have a temp. But a little bit of chills. No diarrhea but my stomach hurts when I go to the bathroom. I have had hemorrhoid issues in the past but generally external and I don t notice that right now. No blood or anything. Also generally my body aches.
<bot>: Hi, Pain in the lower central abdomen that increases on pressure, chills and pains on going to bathroom indicate that there is an inflammatory action going on in the lower part of abdomen and the causes can be as follows: 1) Enteritis meaning inflammation of small intestines and can occur in Typhoid, or so.2) Lymph node enlargement.3) Appendicitis4) Diverticulitis. All these can be diagnosed by the following:1) Clinical examination by a General Surgeon.2) Ultrasonography to start with and a CT scan to confirm.3) Tests of blood, urine and stool help further. Hence, this can help us to get a proper diagnosis and hence an appropriate management. Till then take only liquids orally. Take a PPI like Omeprazole. Painkillers or anti-spasmodic only if the pain is severe to avoid masking of signs and symptoms. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
