Hi, I have slight pain in my lower right abdomen when sneezing or coughing for a couple of weeks now. Does not hurt when I lift something, even very heavy (slightly feel it if try to do abdominal crunches). I am a 49 years old male, quite fit, exersize regularly. No nausea, no temperature or higher heart rate; feel fantastic otherwise. What can it be?
HI ! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would clinically examine your abdomen to rule out chances of any inguinal hernia in its early stages when it becomes painful due to stretching of its covering. Also, I would like to see if there is any other intro abdominal pathology clinically and if need be by an ultrasound abdomen. Further treatment would depend on the clinical findings and the investigation reports. 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. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
