I have had a dull and tight pain on and off in my lower left abdomen. It hurts more when I need to use the bathroom. Tends to hurt more when I get up and moving around but feels a bit better when I lay down. I thought it might be an imbalance of good and bacteria so I started taking digestive health to help with potential gas problems. This has been happening for about a month. I have no fever.
Hi. Thanks for your query. Self diagnosis is the most dangerous thing that you can do. Since you have a problem of pain in left lower abdomen for a month with increase when you have to use bathroom or on getting up. Taking probiotics alone may not help. I would advise you the following:5-day course of an antibiotic and metronidazole. Probiotics and diet restriction - stopping all the foods and beverages. If this does not help, you need a colonoscopy and a CT scan of the abdomen.
