i am a male, and having a hard time going to the bathroom because of harsh pain in my lower abdomen, and it is continuing to hurt although i am not trying to use the bathroom anymore, i had a hernia before,and was wondering if my previous surgery was the cause,or if it is something to be concerned about??
Hi. Harsh pain in lower abdomen and difficulty / pain while passing urine is due to urinary tract infection, cystitis meaning inflammation of the urinary bladder being prominent to cause pain in lower abdomen. This may not be related to the hernia surgery unless it was done by a Laparoscopy route. I would advise you the following:Blood-complete blood picture, kidney functions tests, blood sugar fasting and post-lunch, Urine-routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity (before start of antibiotic)Ultrasonography of abdomen. Get started with proper treatment, antibiotics, alkalinize, take plenty of oral fluids.
