[26M] Experiencing abdominal pain with difficult bowel movements

What might be happening

Based on the information you've provided, possible diagnoses include:

• Kidney Stones: These are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys. They can cause severe pain in your back or side, blood in your urine, and other symptoms. The pain can spread from the back towards the front.

  • Treatment typically involves pain relievers and drinking lots of water to help pass the stone. In some cases, surgery may be needed.

• Appendicitis: This is an inflammation of the appendix, a small pouch on the right side of your abdomen. It can cause severe pain that begins around the navel and then shifts to the lower right abdomen. Other symptoms can include nausea and vomiting.

  • Treatment usually involves surgery to remove the appendix.

• Gallstones: These are hardened deposits in the gallbladder that can cause sudden pain in the right upper abdomen.

  • Treatment may involve medication to dissolve the gallstones or surgery to remove the gallbladder.

• Gastroenteritis: This is an inflammation of the stomach and intestines, usually due to a viral or bacterial infection. It can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting.

  • Treatment usually involves rest, hydration, and over-the-counter remedies.

What you can do

You should seek immediate medical attention, as your symptoms could indicate a serious condition such as appendicitis or kidney stones. In the meantime, try to stay hydrated and avoid eating any foods that make your symptoms worse.

What you should look out for

Watch out for any worsening of your symptoms, such as increased pain, fever, vomiting, or blood in your urine. If you experience any of these, seek medical help immediately.
