i am 15 and about 6-9 months ago i got an abdominal pain on the lower left side when i coughed hard. i didnt think any thing of it but then a few weeks later when i laughed hard and it hurt again. the pain went away if i pushed it a little bit. this happened a few times within this time, getting more regular. then a few days ago it started to hurt a little when i stretched a little far. a few people have said it could be a pulled muscle but i do not know. what do you think?

i am 14 and i had a colonoscopy this morning. my stomach really hurts and i was wondering how long it will last?

I would like to know how to get rid of the bloat (PMS, water…etc.) Thanks :3

-Immodium AD does not help at all. I’ve taken it in the past. It does stop diarrhea, but the pain in my stomach worsens after I take it so suggest some over-the-counter drugs or natural remedies please.

for about the last week, ive had really painful abdominal cramps. i know they arent related to my menstrual cycle. im not really sure whats wrong, but sometimes it hurts out of no where but it hurts epecially when i lay down. it hurts so bad that i cry. im 15 and my parents dont really see it as a big deal. my dad said to take me to the doctor, but i refused because im really afraid of doctors. but the pain is terrible!! does anyone know what might be the cause of my pain? please help!
thanks guys. i think i will go to the doc.

How many hours before a colonoscopy can you eat.What can you eat the day before.

I’ve had diarrhea for like a week and I have had my normal braxton hicks.. nothing to intense. I have been a lot more tender/sore in my pelvic region, but that is probably because I am nearing the end of the pregnancy (I’ll be 36 weeks on saturday). So I don’t think I am going into labor, but why is diarrhea a sign that labor is nearing and I know everyone is different, but does anyone know the medical reason?

I’ll be traveling in Africa for 7 weeks and and am wondering if you can get travelers diarrhea from using a bidet or rinsing off your anus in the shower? Similarly, can you get it from brushing your teeth from faucet water?

I am 21 years old. I currently weigh 125 and my height is 5’2. I have been struggling with stomach bloating since I had a c-section in Dec 2008. I’ve been exercising and trying to change my diet, but nothing is helping.

What could cause lower left abdominal pain, which sometimes radiates to my back, after drinking alcohol (3-4 drinks). Pancreas, ulcer, liver…?
Note: I have had a physical, blood work and ultra sound. No issues found.
