Hi, I have been having lower back pain, loose stools, abdominal pain, frequent urination, menstrual cramps and i have a hystorectomy. This has been going on for over three wks. Went away for one and now is back again. I have no fever and my urine is clear of infection. What could it be
Hi! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. You have not mentioned when you underwent hysterectomy. If it was recent, I would advise you to get an ultrasound/CT scan of your abdomen done to rule out some pelvic collection in Douglas pouch which could occur post operative after a hysterectomy. This collection could irritate the colon and rectum along with bladder giving rise to lose motions, frequency of urination, low backache. The cramps could be due to an ascending infection in the pelvis. I am not clear what you mean by menstrual cramps when you had a hysterectomy. I would advise you to get yourself assessed again by your gynecologist for a proper diagnosis and management. Till then, you could go for an anti-inflammatory along with a proton pump inhibitor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
