Hello I have been experiencing abdominal cramps in the lower part of my tummy since Thursday, last week,Pains cause me to stop in my tracks close my eyes and hope they will go away.I have not had diarrohea or vomiting. They were every hour yesterday, not so frequent today, although make me feek like I have run a marathon!  off food, which like drink doesnt taste too good either.Went to  a pharmacist as we were away until today and he prescribed buscopan, which worked a little yesterday, but not today.Is there anything else you could suggest I could do or take?thank you
Hello! Thank you for the query.First you need to find the reason of your symptoms. Such cramps can indicate very serious issue like partial bowels' obstruction due to colon cancer. Please try to imagine that there is an obstruction somewhere in your large intestine. It blocks stool passage. Intestines constantly (every hour or so) try to force this obstruction. When it happens, you get cramps. Your symptoms can be also caused by some infection of intestines, however diarrhea or nausea are characteristic for this condition as well. Please visit your doctor and start with some diagnostics. Abdominal X-ray, blood work, thyroid test, abdominal ultrasound should be done at first. If you are over the age of 50, colonoscopy is strongly advisable. Hope this will help. Regards.
