My husband is having. Spasms from mid back that come around lower ribs and side to his midline abdomen.  After the spasms stops about 2 hours he will bruise on stomach or lower rib area.  Can you help me understand if this is dangerous or what we need to do
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor I can understand your concern regarding abdominal muscles spasm. Dear, we have to find out the cause of a problem for its solution. There can be many causes. Remove the cause and take precautions , your problem will be solved. Severe constipation or diarrhea - a bulge/growth in the abdomen or groin - dehydration - kidney stones - hernia are some causes.  A bite from highly venomous insect is also caused the abdominal muscles to spasm. Unfamiliar exercise or frequent strenuous activity also can cause the abdominal muscles to spasm. Meanwhile, Rest until you are feeling better. I advise my patients to include balanced diet containing all essential nutrients and proper physical activity - walk, exercise yoga etc. to boost immunity. Chat Doctor.
