My lower right abdomen hurts but not so bad I need to go to the hospital and I took gas-x just in case it may be gas and it did not help. I then tested McBurney s point and it hurt after I pressed that for a couple minutes very badly. But I am also experiencing pain on my lower left abdomen as well. Do you think I should go to a doctor or the hospital?
Hi.IT is good that you have a great understanding. Pain in both the sides of the lower abdomen is suggestive of colitis. Get investigations done. This may be a part of IBS. Get a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole and antispasmodic tablets along with probiotics, multivitamins. You will start feeling alright the same day, and should be totally alright by 5th day. If the problem persists, you have to get colonoscopy and other investigations done under the care of a Gastroenterologist.
