Abdominal pain during urination Posted: 12-29-06 17:07pm
Lately I have been having pains in my side
.... just below my ribs... somtimes a
little higher or lower.... i find this
when i have to urinate.... and some times
even during a bowel movement... i was
wondering if i pulled a muscle or
something... im not sure. Today i had to
urinate and my other side felt like
something... ripped maybe and now it
hurts...? Any ideas?
If the pain is coming from the abdominal
wall, you could be experiencing muscle
pain. The abdominal muscles contract a
little during a bowel movement
(defecation) and urination. This type of
contraction can cause pain if the muscle
is hurt, overworked or inflamed.
If the pain is coming from inside the
torso, you could be experiencing colic
pain. Colic pain originates from the
narrow internal organs of the intestines,
urinary tract and billiary tract. Colic
pain is due to spasms of the smooth
muscles in the walls of these organs.
Colic pain is sharp and severe. You can
visit your primary health doctor for an
examination and to follow up on these
symptoms.
